The next time I post a question I will be sure to send in letters of recomdendations, testimonials, letters of thanks from the county, city, and anything else to show that I didn't just wipe my nose, buy a house and become a property manager. They basically said I wear panties too.

Don't get me wrong I appreciate the advice. That's why I posted the question asking for feedback. You learn from others. That's why I'm here.

What I should have done is spent 2 hours and 2 pages writing a detailed report from the time he called our office until the minute I posted. That way we could have spent time on the feedback instead of calling me a Mary and punching holes in my business.

By the way, he has no criminal history.

We didn't do a criminal background check. After doing a check of all of the above sources and the fact he works for The Fraternal Order of Police raising money, our office determined he would be a good resident.

As far as the other resident, she moved with a 7 day notice. She left the apartment in excellent condition. We filed for eviction because she was late. Court date is next week. We used her deposit to repaint and clean. A letter with the breakdown of cost was sent to her. We are going to seek a judgement for the last month's rent. We rented the apartment to someone else 72 hrs later.

As far as the screening process, we checked his credit, talked to his employer, his current landlord, his references, and stopped by his current residence.

We have scheduled an inspection of the property for this Friday. This happended last Friday afternoon. We were on the phone Monday morning at 9:30 and continued the conversations on Tuesday, and Wednesday. We came to an agreement on Tuesday that he was moving and by Wednesday he began to change his mind. It's now Thursday morning. We gave him to the end of the month to move which was 13 days.

Saying he's got my goat, I've lost control, and inspecting isn't on my list of priorities, is way off. But, thanks for the feedback.

By the way, what would have been your time line?

I was hoping you would post Jon. Thank you as well Tracey.

I do have a long term lease and have never had to evict due to behavor. My understanding of the law is a 60 day notice is required, but I can attempt to evict. It will take about 21 days to get to court and the judge will probably give him several weeks to move.

According the resident below, he would get up at 5:00 am and play with his 2 minature dogs. At around 7:00 am, would walk his dogs in front of the other resident's windows, making as much noise as possible. According to her, she felt threatened. Apparently, she would bang on the ceiling when he got to loud. This went on for 7 days before she notified me she was moving.

It's been a month now and this seems to be a pattern with this guy. If I let him stay because he will pay his rent and another incident occurs, I think I could be held liable.

Would be very interested in some feedback. I've been managing apartments and houses for nine years and this is a first.

We hired someone to trim the hedges at one of our properties. While trimming, one of the residents came home and became furious that someone was on his porch. He went balistic throwing the hedges, verbally challenging the guy, and threatening to beat him senseless. I happended to hear what was going on and stopped the guy who in return started in on me. If it was not for the landscaper, it would have resulted in a fight. The police were called, but no report was made. The lawn guy didn't want to press charges and the resident had calmed down and started with the applogizes before the police arrived.

The next business day we called the resident and made him an offer to move by the end of the month and his lease would be broken and security deposit returned. He agreed on Monday, waffled on Tuesday, and Wednesday indicates he wants to see what a judge says. In other words, he wants me to evict him.

In the one week he has been there, the resident below him has moved, he made a scene in a restaurant down the street, and now this.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I purchased a home subject 2 in a land trust. There has been alot of problems with the deal. To many to mention. My attorney has ensured me no fraud has been commited. Just a difference of opinion and interpretation of the agreements that were signed at closing with our attorney

Regardless, the seller is attempting to sue or settle. I am the Trustee and the only item in the Land Trust is the home.

Any thoughts or feedback would be very much appreciated.

Can anyone give me any recent feedback on Joe Crump?

I've been receiving a few of his e-mails with videos, but would like to hear from people who has used his techiques.

I have no affiliation with him and feel free to check any of my post.
