The first step in that is terminating the month-to-month tenancy by posting a 30 day Notice to Quit on the property.

Understand their fees, bid process, termination requirements, markups for work done, how they confirm fair bidding (especially if they have on-staff handyman).I would talk to the actual tenant in place to understand what their experience is with both property and management team.I would drive the area to understand how your property compares to others on the street/in the neighborhood.I would talk to other management companies and realtors to understand their understanding of the market, rent levels, etc.Basically, full due diligence and underwriting of the property.

We got off to a good start in late 2022 and then 2023 when the market took a downturn it dried up and we terminated at the end of 2023. 

Honda has broken ground on the new battery plant out there, and you'll be able to keep an eye on your first investment 

If I wanted to get it terminated earlier I'll need to get an appraisal (paid out of pocket) and have it sent in for their review upon which they still could reject the removal. 

You would be terminating a lease I assume not evicting.

Bush was in office, “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” was in theaters and C+C Music Factory was rocking the Billboard charts.”

You should never ask Tenants or enter into dialogue with tenats in which tenants are repalcing anything other than filters, batteries or lightbulbs.

Unfortunately, I have to admit to knowing very little on landlord tenant law or ethical practices.I requested a 1 month early lease termination for Feb 29th and asked my landlord what my options were.

I assume the terms of the lease are such that it terminates if not habitable.
