It's more of a concern for him maintaining his tax advantaged status than anything.  

Or are they actually proactive at enforcing your lease and maintaining eyes on your property?

MLS fees, board fees, license fees, sentrilock fees, e&o insurance.....it adds up to thousands per year to maintain your license. 

I mean yes it would be great if that were the case but since you already have a monthly living cost of $1500 I would look at a house hack where you could reduce your monthly living cost or even if you were to maintain the same cost of living.

This person would like their monthly payments to be in the $500-$800 range but with a recent close call with having there home foreclosed on, along with the fact that this person doesn‘t have a steady paying job (small business owner) to maintain a mortage over $1000 a month, they’ve reached out to me in an effort to fix the problem.

Talk to the tenant about an increased level of noise, and remind them of their responsibility to maintain a peaceful environment.   

These are duplexes I plan to build out but want to maintain ownership of and I’m looking to avoid going through the long and expensive process of subdividing in San Diego County.  

I find that with multiple properties, I just need a minimum net cashflow to maintain a large enough cash reserve for major systems replacement as they arise.Let me close with why investors buy rental properties. 

The activities of wife with respect to the rental properties included, among other things, cleaning common areas, collecting coins from washing machines, performing repairs at the properties, communicating with tenants, collecting and depositing rent, maintaining insurance policies, purchasing materials for the properties, as needed, paying bills and keeping books and records for tax accounting purposes.

(Is the trick with that to keep following up via a drip email campaign or automated texts or something, thus building and maintaining a relationship without investing time until they’re ready?)
