While I don't think they will be destructive I'd really like to avoid the constant calls for minor, routine house maintenance.

I know your eager to get your feet wet, but I see routinely how things can go wrong in this business in a hurry.

You do routine maintenance on it? 

I always request techs to call with a verbal estimate before proceeding with routine items.

@Travis Collins - Were you able to establish a D2D routine with the above answers?

I see the irrigation system routinely leaking into the street - a small stream.

After enough time in this business, most especially in C-class, you will worry routinely that you're not throwing your plumber or your HVAC guy enough work.8.

If you're going the umbrella insurance route, perhaps see if it will cover you for several things including just the routine slip and fall (like mold or earthquake).

One huge stress factor is that I solely pay property taxes, maintain and manage the units, and keep them rented while my parent routinely demands the split partnership if sold.

If it is a owner occupied, then get an independant valuation from an appraiser and try to negotiate with the agent the best price possible.I routinely get 10 to 20 percent off the BPO as do others, so you should be able to gauge how well your doing by securing an appraisal report.
