Common problem, no easy answer:(We try to allow our owner clients to arrange their own maintenance, but have learned the hard way there MUST be limitations:1) They can't hire our people!

Short-term rentals of non-owner-occupied properties will also require a special use variance which is obtainable by starting with the completion of an application in the Zoning Department."

It’s a newly renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, just one block from the ski slopes and four blocks from downtown.The current owner has been renting it out for $30,000 per month during the peak winter and summer seasons.

I am a CT based investor, flipper and property management company owner.  

As a PM, I'm authorized to make emergency repairs without owner permission.

There are 9 x buyers for owner occupied houses than there are investor buyers. 

As owner can I propose in another states sold by owner?

@Dwight HenningRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Quote from @Josh Otero: Hi BP community, I know you've got some crazy tenant stories and I want to hear it.I'll go first:1) I was managing a 5 story apartment building and a dog fell off the 4th floor balcony because of the owner not paying attention.

When you look them up make sure the owner isn't a LLC and that there primary address is not the same as the property you where looking at.
