@Glenn Cross you have to find a landscaper or a local person.

In terms of debts, I agree with @JoeHammel - A title company is the best resource to check on all liens which could be contractor, IRS, bankruptcy, local utility bills or property tax, child support, etc. 

Local bank portfolio loan, 10% down, fixed interest rate for 30 years.

I’m based out of San Diego and investing locally.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

The real goal is capital gain, and future cash out refinance.

In addition to what others have already shared, I'd suggest meeting with a local real estate attorney.

Did you have people like a real estate agent, contractors, bookkeepers, a CPA, and all of those other roles already on your "team" or did you just purchase the first property and find people for those roles as you went?

Situation: Tenant is at the local park (not on site at the rental property) and the dog bites someone... are you aware the property owner will be named in the lawsuit?

It is neither right nor wrong, just a big change.If you go all-in on that route, you will be paying a bit more and have all of your real estate time back as you will have much less involvement.
