Has anyone ever gotten a complaint from a current tenant about a neighbor terrorizing their property? We have a tenant who is stating the neighborhood, unsurpervised kids (around ages 7-9) have been stealing and vandolizing her unit/property. Multiple bikes have been stolen and they ding/vandalized her cars with toys. Because children are under 10 they cannot be prosecuted and police don't even show up to take statements. Our tenant states that she has talked with the mother and the mother does not seem to care what her children are up to. She wanted us to look into what our options are in this case. What would you do in this senerio? Is there anything we can do? 

For those of you that do your own property managing is there an account you use for call forwarding to protect your phone number or do you just use your actual personal phone number? Is it necessary to get another phone for the business? I would like to make it as simple as possible. 

thank you! 

@Terrell Garren thank you I am in alignment with you for sure. We’ve had a couple PM and I feel like they just aren’t worth the money we are spending every month.

@Tracy Streich thank you so much!! Great input!! I’m planning on using buildium I think do you have a referral for a good software to use?

@Mark Fries thank you so much for the positive post!! I’m definitely going to set up systems and check lists and make sure I find some good vendors in the area just in case I can’t make it there myself. Appreciate the feedback!!

@Peter Anderson thank you!!

@Christine Kankowski omg thank you for the amazing information I really appreciate it!! Taking notes and getting to work. 🤗

@Andy McQuade thanks for the great info! $1200 a month plus what we are paying for repairs will cover our whole cost of living in Texas! It’s a whole different world here versus California. We came here to not work 70 hour work weeks and have more freedom with our time.

We do have a great team out here that’s we’ve found through our realtor.

I’m get it’s a pain but when my PM is taking 3-4 weeks to turn over a property I just think we can do a better/faster job. No one is going to care for our properties the way we are. Maybe I’m being ambitious but I am not impressed with the best PMs out here.
