If they don’t have any other interest. 7 days is plenty, 10 days is overkill.

Quickbooks’ little brother quicken is overkill for 14 properties in 2 states and my personal income and investing.

I think 1 LLC for each property is overkill.

We usually recommend Buildium if less than 50 units as PW can be overkill.

My current thoughts:Insulate exterior walls with basalt stonewool, like RockwoolUse cement backer board behind the showerUse DensArmor Plus Drywall in the bathroom because the gypsum is wrapped in fiberglass mats and should prevent moldEncase the whole bathroom in Schluter Kerdi Water membraneStill deciding between tiling the shower, or using an acrylic shower enclosure.This is probably overkill, but I'd rather have a belt and suspenders on, than find out I need to remodel a bathroom again in 5-6 years.I'm in Oakland, CA, in the Fruitvale.

Totally agree this is the thing I see most beginning landlords fail to realize  turn over KILLS returns Kills them.. for us the Vegas home we use if its not rented but it cant be rented for less than 30 days based on CCRs  I would think SR and Sonoma county had huge demand after the fires ??? 

In this latest rehab, the project is slated to come in around $25k and the vast majority of the work has been done by the contractor himself, with subs being used only when required by code (certain electrical work, plumbing, etc) My thought is, asking for a lien release can't hurt, and worst case overkill for such a small project.

If this is your only asset then the LLC would probably be an overkill. 

Appfolio or Buildium are great management tools, but also mega-overkill for bookkeeping. 

(That’s the search limit.)TLDR: quicken for $50 is overkill if you have less than 20 properties.
