Offering to compensate them for their time can go a long way in maintaining a good working relationship.Let me know how I can assist further—best of luck with your project!

Basically - I want a PM who keeps the property in good shape and occupied to get paid, and a PM who is either bad at maintaining properties and finding good tenants, or just really unlucky, to not get paid.- PM charges 8% of rent, which escalates to 10% if the property exceeds 95% occupancy with rent collection. - PM charges minimal fees.- PM is contractually obligated to perform annual maintenance/inspection to keep property in top shape. - PM provides a cash based accounting report every month, for every unit under management, that clearly labels all rent, all expenses, including management fees, and the net directly ties to the amount of money deposited into my bank account.- PM is a licensed handyman, or has them on staff, and takes care of most unit turn work at a reasonable rate. - PM has no breakup/termination fee- PM does not take project management fees, except on large or complicated CapEx projects exceeding $5,000.

Keep in mind that the same entity (in this case, your LLC) that holds title to the relinquished property must also acquire the replacement property to maintain the tax-deferred status of the exchange.Additionally, don't forget about depreciation recapture.

I find that managers are somewhat reluctant to cut rents because they have an interest in maintaining income across the market, even if that means your property sits vacant. 

You don’t have to be aggressive about it but maintaining friendly contact can go a long way.
