@Jonathan Greene  In the fastest growing county in PA, there is no Wholes Foods and just recently got a Trader Joes and has 3 Starbucks. 

Situations like this are why some landlords have crazy long leases, filled with addendums like "no fish tanks over 100 gallons" and "no indoor archery practice".

This tenant was inherited from the seller so there is no way of knowing their intentions. 

You could possibly apply more down for your escrow deposit to show your ready to commit to the transaction and not just a few thousand to tie down the deal. 

I'm assuming that once these platforms become more accepted as just another asset class (no different then mutual funds) to invest in for one's retirement (and I do believe we're going that direction) the restrictions on who they let fundraise on their sites will actually decrease a bit as the occasional blow up will do far less damage once RE crowdfunding has a lengthy track record. 

Or no known yet?

No point in refinancing until rates drop significantly.

Correct no tax benefits. 

Things I've got down to minimal effort or fully automated: * Rent, security deposit, and fee collection* Basic accounting and tax packet creation* Listing vacancies* Lease signing* Applications, credit, and background checksThings I'm still dealing with directly ad-hoc or don't have a well defined process or solution in place for:* Requests and communication with tenants* Finding and coordinating service providers for maintenance and repair work* Scheduling showings and getting prospective tenants to make their appointments* Tenant turnover for move in and out* Keeping up with legal changes and lease template updates* Setting rent amounts* Lease enforcement - tenants are responsible for things like yardwork, routinely get letters from the city about weeds / tall grass, etc.Questions for the group:* What am I missing if I were to make out a checklist of an "automated property"?

I by no means claim to be an expert.
