She is mad that I suggested hiring a cleaner.  You just can't win with some people!  

I did ask here what she wants.  Does she want to enjoy new upgrades and less bugs or does she want a 30 day notice.  About 2 days after the written question, she informed me she took the day off work to clean.   Sure hope she can still pay rent with a missing work day.  :)

I have a tenant on a month to month lease.  She has trouble with bugs (due to personal non clean issues)  All the same we arranged a time for fogging and gave her explicit instructions on how to prepare and what to do with her personal living and cleanliness to get rid of bugs and told here certain things needed to be done before we deliver new appliances fridge and stove that she requested.  She refuses to clean and is offended at the thought that we think she needs to clean.   Needless to say she  needs to leave if she won't clean and comply with what we are doing pest control.  I thought there was a form in the forms packet but I can't find one for a 30 day notice of non renewal of a month to month lease.  Can someone send me a link to such a form please.  Thanks so much!!!

Interesting.  I thought the point of property manager was that the tenant interacts with them and their info rather than the owner.   If not how do you recomment not exposing the owner's personal info to the tenant in the lease.  Our current manager I believe puts his name and company on it.  (It is juts that he is old and wont do this forever and I am being proactive in planning for the future.

I am learning about turbo tenant and feel fairly confident I could manage most things using it (as long as tenants were able and willing to cooperate with using a computer/app)  However I'd still like a property manager/company whose name, address etc is what is exposed on the lease agreement. To protect myself I don't want tenants knowing my personal address etc.  I also like the idea of  having a "scary man" who appears to be incharge so I can just look like I am a helper, instead of incharge.  I would also like the "scary man" to be available to go with me when meeting prospective tenants, or having to personally interact with tenants...obviously this should not happen very often  (Don't want to be a lone female dealing with strangers)  However the manger would have very little to do a so much can be managed on the turbo tenant.  Currently we have a 78 year old property manager who makes 10% of the rent for doing everying....He is adverse to technology so sharing the work load with him through turbo tenant usage is not possible.  However when he retires and I need a new manager, is there someone who may work for 5% or flat rates when he needs to meet with me or tenants,  and be a part time manager as I have decribed above?

Thank you.   Will look into her

I recently bought an investment property in Chattanooga. The seller’s agent was Sharon Ervin. She was also their property manager. I was super impressed with her and wished she was my agent, lol! Good luck!

Thank you I am out of town on a real estate photo shoot with my son right now but I would love to connect and chat with you via phone as well I should be back home next week

I am looking (in the beginning stages) of buying property to rent.  My dream is a duplex or something similar (multi family type)  with a detached workshop/garage.  I want to have the detached building unit for my personal use while renting out the house/ houses duplex etc.  I don't have a  lot of money to start and would need a lower end price property, yet one that I could be sure the numbers worked.  I'd like to have a property manager both to keep my husband happy and to protect me for legalities and too much work etc.  Is there someone who would be both a property manager and a realtor who would help me analyze properties and determine the best one to buy in the the Northwest Georgia area....Rossville, Chickamauga, Flintstone or near by areas, and then continue on as the property manager.

Wow Thanks for the info.  The 50% mark up will certainly be something to check into.  That could be a big one for sure.  Thanks for the good info.

My son has the opportunity to co-host an STR in the Smokies/ Gatlingburg region. He needs a TN real estate lawyer familiar with co-hosting legalities to look at/revise/draw up a contract for the co-host and the owner. Who do you recommend?
