I'm "house-hacking" a duplex. I allowed the upstairs tenant to have a dog. It's in the lease. She pays modest pet fee per month. Over the last several months, the tenant has been letting the dog poop all over the yard and routinely doesn't clean it up. I text her, and she usually gets right on it, but most of the time she doesn't. And it keeps happening.

There's been several times that I've stepped in it, or my daughter (17 months), who plays in the yard, has almost picked it up before we stopped her.

There's nothing in the least about cleaning up the poop. I'm already not going to renew her lease due to other issues. She has four months left on the lease. 

Can anyone recommend a good local PM on the Eastern Shore, especially one that would do a quarterly walk-through of a property?

I'm also looking for reliable Handymen and Contractors.

My team is based in Pensacola and not everyone is willing to drive out to Baldwin Co or Mobile. Looking to expand my acquisitions in AL.

What's your opinion of the Park Place and Kensington area of Norfolk just above Ghent? I'm looking at a sizeable quad over there at the moment, but so far I've only invested in B neighborhoods.

I know this thread is older, but I just moved to Portsmouth with and am considering investing in Suffolk. It seems the northern part of Suffolk is growing rapidly. But what about the downtown area?

I'm interested in small multifamily in particular. I've seen a few 5-8 units for sale around there over the last nine months for my price range.

I've mostly been looking in Norfolk and Chesapeake, but there doesn't seem to be much inventory at the moment.

Hi Marlon, did you ever end up investing in Elizabeth City? I'm looking at some property there as well. I currently live in Portsmouth.
