costly eviction and broken in -bloody lesson

In April we switched PM, this tenant in SFH stopped paying. It took several months to evict him and cost extra attorney fee. That guy forged payment receipt and appealed in housing court! Can you believe that? It's not hard at all to prove forgery, just costly!

Disappointed, we switched PM again. We paid to have the house rehabbed and requested to install security. I actually gave PM a set of SimpliSafe.  Last week, I was informed the house was broken in with furnace& hot water tank stolen!

Hi Amy

What street and zip code is your property? I am curious why you changed PM in April (no names please)

Why did you switch PM the second time?

I am curious... how did you select your PMs. Were they both licensed real estate agents?

You would not have to prove forgery... only that you did not get paid. How do you receive payments? How do you track payments?

Looking forward to learning your answers. I will offer some opinions on the answers.
