I guarantee your life would be so much better if you removed her and replaced her with a good renter.Do yourself a favor: buy "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.

Here are additional comments:1) Buying out of state removes any local knowledge you have from assisting in your success, including knowing areas, people and costs. - We always recommend buying your first rental locally if possible and DIY managing to learn as much as possible before investing OOS.2) Lots of crooks and incompetents in the PMC world:( They both cost you money.- As already stated, you'll have a small portfolio.

Why can't I go into whole foods and steal their food without getting the police called on me?

Is this a type of loan I can refinance down the line to remove the MIP?

Your property management rate should be higher—there aren’t many options in the Metro East, and the good ones tend to be expensive.You mentioned that he’s already okay with you removing the tenant or adjusting rent if needed.

Pick a screening platform/application that makes sense for you.As for meeting the applicants, I recommend meeting them at the property to show the place to them rather than getting coffee or food with them.
