St. Louis Property Mangt, Placement & General Contractors

[Kim Coleman]

Hello BP! I have a rental property in St. Louis county in Missouri. My 3 yr tenant is moving out in April. I'm looking for companies to assist with property management and repairs leading up to the turnover. Also looking for your insight and experiences managing the process remotely. For instance, do you ask tenants to send pictures of the property to determine what repairs need to be made? Do you hire a contractor to go over and do a walk through inspection with you via Face Time? Just trying to figure it all out. In the past my spouse went out for a few weeks and handled everything in person. No more spouse. Also when you tenant gives notice of their intent to move, do you offer anything to entice them to stay? She has always paid rent on time and doesn't bother me with those "how do I change the lightbulb" questions. Thanks in advance. I've already learned so much on BP. Kim
