When it comes to analyzing properties, I’ve developed a specific checklist to make sure the home fits both resident needs and operational goals:Square Footage: Ideally, at least 2,000 sq. ft. to ensure enough living space for residents and staff.No Stairs or Pools: It reduces liability and keeps the home accessible for everyone (this is just my preference).Corner Lots: I love corner lots because they often provide extra parking and outdoor space—both of which are critical for families and visitors.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

This protects against potential claims and liabilities specific to the rental.For tax purposes, maintain clear records of rental-related income and expenses, allowing deductions for insurance, utilities, maintenance, and depreciation proportionate to the rental unit.

In that case, you’d typically need to file a legal challenge, which could involve going to court and showing that the restriction is unnecessary or unreasonable.The best advice I can give would be to consult a real estate attorney to understand your specific situation and options.

Use this meeting to gather their perspective on the property and understand their goals before making any offers.Keep It Informal Initially: Avoid jumping straight into specifics about pricing or terms.
