Most want to just drop some weight.  

If you were constructing a spreadsheet with weighted averages, what would command the most weight?

So, you would say that the two key drivers, in order to protect any unforeseen downside are the following: (1) location (*which is worth its weight in gold), and (2) crunch the numbers (*need to make sure the mortgage, HOI, capex fund, and any other incidentals are covered).

In between tenants, weight the cost effectiveness of improving the appearance by replacing fixtures... and if/when they do break, don't buy junk.

., I have a friend that essentially monitors is small team of employees on the screen, I think for many hours of the day.  

@Yashar FredI do not give any weight to previous landlords and I have actually never called a previous landlord in 16 years of owning rental property.I want to verify employment and income, credit and criminal.

As expected, I did not perform great on the baseball field, so I decided to take a healthy redshirt (which is essentially sitting out of the season while still remaining with the team and practicing/lifting weights).

It sounds like the first one came off and because they didn't say anything, the weight of the door is now causing problems with the second one. 

Focus and celebrate how well you eat each day rather than on your weight loss. 

If that's the case, I'm not sure you want to be involved with that either.If they were running a consulting business or something not requiring people to come to the property, I'd be totally OK with that (that's like working from home), but you will have children coming, the health department for food, and a lot of other people you may not want monitoring your property.
