While this is an updated deadline from what’s been communicated out in the past, this date is now final and it’s important to get registered as soon as possible to meet the deadline.

@Tyler MinkelPost a 3-day notice and they will probably start communicating with you ;)I've gotten so immune to tenants not communicating and honoring lease agreements, that I post notices immediately.

Here are some favorites "How to Win friends and Influence People" - Communications and getting along with people"The One Thing" by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan - The best book on time management"Atomic Habits" - personal productivity"Ego is the Enemy" How to have great self esteem by not caring what others think.

I leave the service to the A/C techs.I understand them so I know if this major importance high cost item (black box to most) is being serviced and replaced at as an efficient cost as possible (I'm not getting rammed on prices or misdiagnosis from tech errors).

It's awesome that you communicated with the seller and were able to solve any problems that came along together.

@Khadijah Celestine Personally, I would be more inclined to invest that money into multifamily properties because of the larger scale efficiency, scalability, cash flow, and equity build up potential. 

What some people do in expensive markets though is look for poorly managed/needs complete remodel multi units at a large discount that you renovate with your own workers and you can make a good amount of cash from the negotiation alone and compound that with the power of efficiently renovating it.

I feel like I should be focusing on operating the 8 units I have efficiently by keeping my current tenants and protecting my capital and being patient I would have been using a hard money lender (80% LTV, 10%, 1yr loan term) to acquire and then begin renovations and raising rents to market. and then do a VA cashout refinance or FHA and move into one of the units. so my risk is if the property will not hold its value or go down and I cant refinance and/or if my new tennat base will be able to afford the new rents ($950).My gut is telling me to stay liquid and see how this plays out but there's this FOMO (fear of missing out) side that thinks this will blow over and I won't have a deal.

I was communicating with the electrical contractor but they couldn't schedule me in until they knew when the building permit would be issued. 

I can not stand the government forcing me to hire someone for something I can do safely and efficiently myself.
