 Thanks, Dena. My tenant is asking to sign the good standing letter. I am thinking to do an inspection now to check if there is damage. As in that letter, there is a field to to enter the damage cost. 

I am currently managing my rental property remotely, and my Section 8 tenant is scheduled to move out at the end of this month. As a new landlord, I want to ensure I follow the correct process. I have a few questions:

1. 1. Pre-Move-Out Video Inspection: Do you recommend conducting a video inspection before signing the release form? I want to document the unit’s condition in case any damages are found after move-out.

2. 2. Final Walk-Through: Is it advisable for the landlord and tenant to inspect the unit together? If necessary, I will arrange to be there in person.

3. 3. Damage Responsibility: If the tenant causes damage beyond normal wear and tear, can I report it to Housing for assistance, or is it solely my responsibility? I do have a security deposit, but I want to understand my options.

4. 4. Tenant Move-Out Guidelines: What are the standard move-out guidelines for Section 8 tenants? Should I advise the tenant to clean the unit and repair any issues now to avoid deductions from their security deposit?
   
   Please give me some advice, thank you in advance!!
   
   
   
   
   

Hello,

Due to my work relocation, I have to move to Melbourne, FL. Is it a good time to buy a house now? Not sure if I need to wait until the end of this year. 

I saw a 4700 sq ft house with two car garages, is it normally in Melbourne, FL?  In Texas, with that size house, it usually goes with 3 car garages. 

Thank you!

@Patrick Bavaro

Good deal!

@Jack Luzecky

Thanks for suggesting your area. Let me do some search. I focus on SFR and a small multifamily.

@Lauren Cutchen

I am interested in multifamily. Can we chat?

Hi All,

I am new to property investment and thanks to this amazing platform.

I have a question for y'all. How long does your property manager respond to your request? 

Here is my situation. I gave the key to my PM right before new year and he promised me to provide a repair estimate ASAP. A week has passed and he still hasn't provided me an exact estimate. Talked to the PM on the phone and he said he'll provide an exact estimate tomorrow and it will take another week to get the house fixed up before listing it on the market. 

Is it normal to take 2-3 weeks for a PM to get the house fixed up? The house needs a new layer of paint (2-3 days job), carpet fixing and some cleaning.

Thanks,

Vivi
