It takes a long time for properties to be rebuilt due to material and labor constraints, permitting issues, flood maps being redrawn based on which areas actually flooded and which didn’t, etc.

I know that I can go in, in either platform, and refund for days as needed without involving the "customer service" people.

@Shea Spinelli If you PM me, I can send you a sample XL spreadsheet that you can customize that we use to apportion the expenses among the Tenants ..

Our title companies customer service departments are second to none all of this was free for me..

Your tenants are customers, properties are your product and reputation is your brand.

IREM President Libby Ekre, CPM, shares five essential things to look for:Licenses & Certifications – Ensure the firm has certifications like CPM or ARM, guaranteeing adherence to industry standards.Regional Experience – Local market knowledge is crucial, especially for properties in smaller cities.Property Type Expertise – Match the company’s strengths with your specific property type for better management.Company Culture – Look for a firm that values customer service and team management.

A tenant may only be evicted on this basis if the property is being demolished or if renovations will a) substantially modify or replace a structural, plumbing, electrical, or mechanical system, and require permits, or b) remove unsafe materials, such as lead paint, mold, or asbestos, from the unit.

The catch is it has a violation for building garages without permits.

For example, do you need a permit to swap out windows (lead renovation EPA requirements for the age of home or do you need tempered or fall protection) all the way to a city that has $3,000 permit fees. 

You should have an inner circle of people you trust like your Banker, Agent and rely on the inspector to do their job.I have closed on many homes for customers that they did not visit first for example they are living in California buying in Indiana, Ohio, Florida or New York buying in Vegas.
