Personally, I would not take my chances with the stock market so I'd look at shifting some of your stocks to real estate.

At least one city has been mentioned that this inspection is the same as the S8 inspection and if you pass, your unit is now automatically S8 eligible.

Since you're already using QB to track finances, I don't know why you can't switch to a cheap alternative like TenantCloud for $10 - $15 a month.It blows that Apartments.com started charging too so Buildium can't automatically syndicate there either :(

Year-long leases automatically become month-to-month when the lease expires.At present, because of COVID, you're not allow to raise rents on tenants.

There is a culture shift that takes place in the first 3-6 months of new ownership and it requires you remain true to your plan to ensure that shift is a positive one.

It can help, and I believe an LLC is an automatic no-brainer as long as there are no egregious externalities (CA LLC tax), but strong insurance and keeping everything above-board as far as practices go is much more important IMHO.

Many other companies will follow.This shift has already impacted the New York City market.

You can set up a recurring transaction to automatically charge it just like the rent.

The SimpliSafe people may have given me an automatic upgrade, for all I know.

The pandemic may have just turbo-boosted it.I have countless friends leaving CA for TX in general, so I think we're about to see a huge shift.
