I'm very familiar with self managing in terms of the tenant screening process, getting the tenant moved in, and maintenance etc issues during tenancy, but this will be the first time I'm trying to prepare for a tenant move out.

Rehab took longer than expected due to contractor issues but we were able to find a new contractor, complete the work and get the property sold.

@Kim Durst Potentially you could take the $10k, then have another $10k (or whatever amount you feel covers your cost if there are further issues) held in escrow.

In MHP's they are regulated like cars rather than real estate, but the renovation is mostly the same (sans foundation issues, and structural issues if leave the outside walls intact).

It was a leak, fix it replace the sheetrock and damage other items and move on Why would you file and insurance claim for such a small issue?

Their personal tax prep is around $500 for a 1040 with some stock issues. 

For example, sure there is sa record AMOUNT in mortgages, but probably because of the low rates, the actual cost/payments for this borrowed amount is really low.The only issue being shown here is the credit card debt...

I had a lot of issues with double bookings.

The condensed issue centers around decoupling of agent commissions, or no longer allowing seller's to pay the buyer's broker. 

I am still discovering the different issues that I will face eventually and trying to find answers.
