Some fear losing control, while others are unsure how to structure a fair and profitable partnership.

However a couple larger items that should have been discussed: the pipes would freeze every winter (we've since found a fix), no water shutoff exists in each unit, the well pump has to be turned off and cut water to all 18 units, no pest control was ever done on the property, there was a unit that would take on exceptional water during rain due to improper prep and installation of a new concrete slab.

Maybe they’ll build a wall around DC so that he can better control his new Kingdom!  

You control a 1.5M asset for $35k and get to live in an amazing location.

Smart locks and security cameras (outdoor only) add an extra layer of control.

I wish I had control over how far in advance the calendar was open, but that is up to the PM. 

Ok, this Trump Derangement Syndrome is way outta control now.

The president has zero impact on underwriting guidelines and  zero direct control of interest rates. in fact the fed has no direct control of long term rates that effect mortgage rates.

I have a feeling my entire local market is going to be the same outlook to make their over value seem reasonable to themselves..Do you or they, control the future?

They can introduce themselves face-to-face with the tenants, change the locks to control the property, get a copy of the lease from the tenant or sign a new one, etc.As for the old PM, it sounds like they owe you a copy of the lease and other paperwork (required by law), undelivered rent and security deposit, etc.I would compile your documentation and file a complaint with the Ohio real estate commission.
