Once you've identified what's important and what ratios to look for to evaluate a property, all future deals should be weighted against those "good" ratios/numbers - and periodically adjust to suit your goals.

How do you identify emerging markets before they become over saturated?

Tenant caulked the bathroom w/o any issues and did not hear from him for about 10 days.I get another call last night.

i also had HVAC mystery issues in my first duplex when we house hacked it.Regarding the Daikin Mini Split - I have one in the 3rd story of my current home and it seems to work great for us. 

I would love advice from the community on this issue.  

I've found many properties with title issues wind up with unpaid property taxes so checking on delinquent taxes, tax deed sales and lands available for taxes might help you identify some.

However, there is no way to do so without risk.The Internal Revenue Services issues three (3) Private Letter Rulings (PLRs) that allowed the taxpayers to do just this.

Several factors indicate the company is not that concerned about efficiency or ease of customer process: the website, a process that seemed to focus on one issue at a time instead of all issues at once, and consistently poor communications and lack of common sense from the loan analyst we were assigned.It started off very well with the initial point of contact, Austin Lornson, who did a fine job of explaining the general refinancing process, responding quickly and thoroughly to our questions.

It would be wise to rectify it before transfer of title so your starting off clean and hopefully won't have any issues when you go to sell down the road. 

The issue I have is that I am struggling to find serious partners to work with.
