I must train my body/mind to operate in a way it has never operated before.

sounds like your pretty green... based on your question and expectations.I have owned multiple brokerges and brokers/agents are all humans.. they all have strengths and weakness.Or your perceptions of those.. 

I've been analyzing tools to do some of this automated work, email, follow up, cleaning schedules, but there are times as you mentioned when human intervention is a must. 

The possibilities are really only limited to the bounds of human ingenuity.I really don't know how it all works.

It's part of being a human being.

It's basically a process by which the regulatory body lays out a list of things that need to be corrected. 

I usually roll with the mindset of do the renovations that would allow me to feel good about renting to another human being.

My belief is there is a way to cover your risks, provide the privilege of allowing pets, and not penalize the humans.

Again, no body can really predict the future...

Green 2003 Subaru Legacy 4Door Wagon (with back seats down it makes a good size cargo bed and I like working at the lower height.)We used to have an Orange 1976 Ford Econoline Cargo Van but the gas mileage was terrible, the steering was pretty loose, the speedometer was broken, and the body started to leak (couldn't keep out the Pacific Northwest rain!)
