Some owners expect their PMC to actually be a personal assistant:(How did you set expectations for this client when onboarding them?

It is possible, but you have to put in the work; driving for dollars, mailer campaigns, cold calling, building lists, etc.  

I would have to get with the property manager and mimic the exact plans they have set up in the lease, all of which were probably customized by the PM to get a few extra dollars.  

I'm not currently at the phase of transitioning into a home builder, more trying to learn the steps of how to better set myself up for success.

Set a goal for yourself based on your needs, your location and your market and shoot for that.

Learn to set boundaries and enforce them.

One of them dinged our credit and sent a late notice before I even had time to set up ACH payments with them.

We try to meet every other Friday at 9am PT and I also set up a whatsapp group for us.

Specifically, I’d love to hear about best practices for managing shared spaces, screening tenants, and setting up house rules.Additionally, I plan to split the utilities among the tenants—any advice on how to handle this efficiently would be greatly appreciated!
