Recently there has been an increase in petty crime in the area with one of our tenants cars being broken into.

It sounds interesting to me but want to make sure it's worth the dough. 

That will allow you to buy another home as a primary and reap the benefits of the increased passive income & deductions.

No 30-day airbnb booking is worth it.

- Is it worth hiring someone to put in recessed lighting or should I stick with current electrical and just put in LED bulbs? 

I am 55 yrs old and would like to increase my cash flow to ensure a more stable retirement . . .We all know SF rentals are a "slow but sure" way, so I am considering leaving that strategy. 

You could go to small claims over this but the time and money spent is likely not worth it.

Do you believe it would be worth my time and effort to consider being a part time realtor or is it best becoming only a full-time realtor?

For me the 8% is well worth it, they find tenants, screen them, collect rent, call me if maintenance is over $500, I get a detailed report each month and end of year.

@Mica MooreI've had $800 cleanings that were worth every penny, and $250 cleanings that were terrible...
