My point being I've consumed a vast quantity, and variety of content in the rei space. 

Is it to protect you in case of a lawsuit? 

Whether it's mold, COVID, or a non-paying renter, a quality PM acts quickly and decisively to protect people, property, and the landlord.If you feel the PM was negligent in their response, you can file a complaint with the state commission.

It is reasonably priced per property and seems that it has been created by engineers specifically for properties worth less than 1.2 million and has audit protection.

Research the appropriate laws for your property and follow best practices to avoid any discrimination accusations: use the same criteria for everyone who applies, know what the protected classes are, which questions are legal to ask and which aren't, and only deny applicants for legal reasons etc.

Divorces are not usually amicable so trying to get another party to agree to make money on the house (and move you out) will be time consuming and very unlikely.This statement though, "it is just sitting due to interest rates", is troubling.

I know a gun sounds good in theory, but there are safer ways to protect yourself. 

Until then, it seems current tenant is on the hook and my income stream is protected by law.

Consult an attorney or CPA to structure this correctly and protect your LLCs.Hope this helps and be careful!

While designed to protect tenants, rent control has adverse effects on the broader rental market.
