Hi all, For a rental home, tenant says bathroom floor keep getting wet, even though it is small amount. at first, they thought they dropped some water. after wiping water, however, it keep coming back and now they think there is some water leak. my plumber went to check and found no issue with bath sink. he thinks it must be shower leak. the shower was redone last year by a contractor, who i ended up firing since he did not show up to work later. anyway, i hired water damage restoration (Servpro) company to check how much damage there is now. unfortunately, based on my research, it is very hard to find source of shower leak. i am thinking of rebuilding shower. i hired a kitchen remodel contractor and he gave me two options; either fix shower pan only, or (optionally) rebuild shower as well.

Self-manage your first properties and consider hiring a property manager.

I'm looking to purchase my first property and set it up as an STR.

This firm specializes in representing landlords doing evictions in Colorado and probably does 80% of all evictions in Colorado.Sure, doing the first "year" as an 11 month lease might help address the new tenant in perpetuity but after the first 12 months they are your tenant as long as they want to stay (with the exceptions allowed by the law).

It’s small stuff that’s compounded: first they had a non-functioning vehicle dropped at the back of the property after they totaled it.

The key factor is physical presence, which, as you mentioned, requires being in the U.S. for at least 183 days during the calendar year.However, it’s essential to note that the substantial presence rule can apply to foreign property owners who spend extended time in the U.S.

Pete) and have narrowed it down to finding a single family home with a pool in the unincorporated Bay Pines area or Indian Rocks Beach (note, it took a long time for me to get over my beach view condo dream in a popular area but HOA fees and restrictions helped!).

It takes time to develop the systems and processes needed for consistent results.

Congrats on taking the first step into rental property investing!
