There is no reason to charge an owner for sending a work order to a vendor. 

I would probably wait until after you decide if you will be using a public adjuster to handle this.  

I am trying to decide if I should add my REI information to my existing LinkedIn profile that contains my full-time job.

Currently closing on a house and looking for home owners insurance for a 2 family house.

So, in a way you should think of a tenant as OWNER of some rights to the property.

You have to decide on your criteria and then run a pro forma analysis on each property to determine if it meets your metrics.Once you do that 50 or 100 times, you'll start to see patterns and will know intuitively if a deal might work for you.BP has a great book on investing in rental properties by Brandon Turner.

I hope for minimal new inventory and higher ROI for existing owners :)

I toured 7 houses and met some owners and some tenants of all types. 

Essentially, you're trying to get a list of the filings before the cases are decided.  

The extra income from renting your current house would certainly help out regardless of what you decide to do and if you do your homework on a second house, it'll pay for itself!
