Those were red flags to me and I went a different route.

Property taxes, hoa dues, utilities (if paid by landlord) will easily put a 1% property deep into the red.

It will basically be a red eye though because my wife and I are having our third daughter on like the 29th of July and my daughters are the flower girls.

I would think that's a lot of boldness to put yourself all the way out there like that, and risk getting caught and identified.Is this normal practice, and am I right to think she may be running a scam?

I've now been passed on to the PM company(ies), and I think I'm just caught up in the administrative red tape of a PM company acquisition/merger.

My property management company left things out of the lease and the tenants filed for mediation and are asking for below market rent.It hurts, but I'm okay taking the hit on the remaining 6 months of the lease, but want to protect myself from being subject to California rent control if the tenants stay beyond the initial lease.I don't want to be stuck below market for any time beyond the initial lease.The tenants are college students with lawyers for parents/co-signers (adding this to my book of red flags!).

Some loans are available and some grants are available but the grants are full of red tape and difficult to obtain.

Several items that can raise red flags is if you do not attend other similar conferences that are closer and cheaper. 

There are too many red flags and unknowns, one (or many) may come around and bite you.

I knew coming into this one that it would put me in red, but during tax time it pretty much washes with write offs.
