It was only 2 years old and was very low maintenance, which was perfect for our lifestyle at the time.

@Ryan Brown, I am not an NYC landlord and know you are subject to different laws than I am in Ohio.But, typically, as long as their shower head is fully functional, I cannot see any reason why you would be required to replace it for them.  

Pay Attention To Your Credit Score Although we don’t have any income requirements, we do want to know that you are on solid financial footing.

Transferring from an LLC to another LLC would require a deed and possibly transfer taxes if your area has them.

You’ll likely have a lower down payment requirement (I am sure you will but as an attorney I am always skeptical of making and relying on definite statements, especially where I don’t know all the relevant facts). 

If speed is of the essence you could offer 100% security deposit return if they’re out 30 days faster than required.

I would ensure that each of them undergoes screening and meets all the necessary requirements.

I assume this is in LA...have you asked about the DP required to get a high balance conforming loan? 

Doors require cleaning and maintenance while curtains can be tossed and replaced on the cheap.

You can find the best cash flow in areas that are hard to be a landlord and on homes that have deferred maintenance and tenant issues so that should not be your main focus.
