I would do inspection right away!

On my first property this year. I went with this particular property manager because she returned my calls, (where other big names in the area did not), and had 15 years experience. I thought I needed help screening tenants, as I'm new to the business. 

Property Manager did not advertise condo a few month backs so I advertised and find tenant, but property manager does not do lease so tenant is moving out after only three months. Do I ask to do lease or go with the way she likes to do things, since she has more experience? 

Second question, she also likes to do all inclusive, stating that is the way renter like it in this area. ( I figured out, she also gets bigger fee, since its on pay collected).  I do not like paying other peoples utilities though, but was told my property would sit on the market if I did not go all inclusive. 

I have a year contract with this property manager, do I need different one, or just asked often about different tenant to encourage advertisement and advertise it again myself, and shop for different property manager until my contact ends?

The former owner did not request deposit, but if the current renter wants to sign with me, I can request deposit up front with lease correct?

I'm looking at a house to live in that needs some repairs in the attic crawl space; beams and floor joints. Does anyone know someone in the western Kentucky area to do these repairs for a reasonable amount? Can these repairs be completed and the house be as sturdy as if it never needed repairs.
