How do we keep you at home, how to keep you vital and how to keep you in control of your own things, your own property and your own home?

Non-owner occupied 4 units (and above) house  are rent controlled.

I always thought if I got into the AIRBNB business, I would use that technology to monitor and control the house without going onsite.  

The majority of wealth is controlled by the few at the top and Colombia is still way too dependent on oil and despite the recent upswing of oil prices it has not reflected in the value of its currency.

Get Properties paid off and Cruise!

One very important thing I would say is who has control over signing checks.

Good times, I miss those days.I flew between the wickets of the golden gate once.. but was not me was with a united pilot at the controls.. 

Bed Bugs:  I WI if the tenants brought the pests into the unit, they are responsible for the eradication for them not you the landlord, if you spent money trying to control them for the tenant, you could add that cost is a suit if you evict, (please seek legal counsel for advice) you will have a struggle with this, but as I said see if you can get a Property Manager to do the eviction, they know how to do it, they know the law, and they know how to act on your behalf in court, you will pay for their services, and plan to retain them after when you place a new tenant, this is what they do for a living, hire a professional!

with lease option.. you still have a tenant, and you're a landlord, with seller finance you're the bank..........in lease option, I hear tenant takes better care, higher down payment, higher payments, maybe even does some rehab work, and often doesn't even exercise option,, this is attractive..the con is I've heard, if they stop paying, its not a simple tenant eviction, and could be long and expensive a year or more...maybe there are ways to avoid this by not crediting rent payments to purchase..its still not clear yet to me...I'am attracted to try this on a property i own in raleigh....or maybe just try a first seller finance....any local I talk to, agents and attorneys, they say dont do lease option and scares the crap out of me.....Im not convinced though yet....but seems like seller finance is an easier exit strategy for cash flow control..

Plus - you need to regain control of the apartment so there isnt much option of “how” Good luck !
