One bad decision can kill the profitability of a unit for years.What happens when someone needs to be there for a rental inspection, or for the utility company to inspect a meter - do you go yourself?

The appraisal of our house from our refinance company came at $60,000.

Still lots of people and companies moving here. 

You can get a loan for $30mm, but you need to come with $10mm equity to buy the company.  

One is having the tax status of qualified real estate professional, which basically means that your primary job is on real estate.

You should contact your attorney and/or tax professional to obtain advice with respect to any particular issue or problem.

Also find out if they have a move out list for you to check and what the expectations are (ie I expect any carpet to be professionally cleaned and want a receipt, over is cleaned, if you had a pet any poop in the yard to be picked up, etc).  

Did you have a professional inspection done and have you really gone over it to project what other repairs may be needed in the future?

I own a STR property management company in Mariposa County.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
