Its not personal, its business. 

Basically just putting a step in the middle of a disallowed transaction that is really only there with no actual profit/business/clean motive except tax avoidance...is not valid. 

You did some fraud or such and I would want to know for sure before doing business with someone. 

Treat this property as a business and factor in all the associated expenses, including mortgage payments (if you pull a loan), maintenance, and potential vacancy periods.To simplify management and make this less of a hands-on job, I’d strongly recommend working with a property management company.

Lenders want your business, and you can negotiate terms, credits, and even push for a better rate.

You really shouldn’t be running your business on a stranger googling answers for you but…the google says:  Depending on the rental agreement, Georgia landlords typically must provide a 60-day notice for lease renewals or terminations, while tenants generally need to give only a 30-day notice for lease termination.Jan 18, 2024If a new lease is not signed, and the landlord continues to accept monthly rent, the terms of the original lease still apply, except the landlord is required to give sixty (60) days' notice before she can terminate the lease or change the terms, and you (the tenant) are required to give thirty (30) days' notice before leaving.So you can’t non-renew until the end of April and you can’t even increase the rent until then.

Most businesses, property management or not, fail due to the lack of sales, not due to the lack of systems and phone etiquette.

These people do not have the time renovate property, launch STR and run the business.

It's running a business NOT renting a house.  

Their entire business plan is wait a few days to come out, charge  deductible, go back to the office to order a part or two that will come in a day or two.
