Warning about trash providers

[Judah Hoover]

The past few years may people have leveled up the size of deals they are doing, and that's awesome. But don't be lazy or fall into old habits. Buildings with more than 4 units handle the trash differently. Its on YOU as the property owner to transfer those services, the title company won't do always it for you. The title company might not even know who the provider is. Don't get caught off guard the first time you do a mulit unit deal with enough units to trigger the local label of "commercial property"(sometimes its not until you get to 5 or 6 units), be proactive and set up the trash. Its better to haggle about the price, shop for service and all that right after you buy it instead of waiting 6 months and having a mess (sometimes literally) on your hands. I have even seen owners botch this and have 2 services billing them. Remember, your property is your responsibility. Others, like title companies, help... but its YOUR property.
