As a landlord, I verified the work needed by pictures being sent, and arranged for a contractor to go in person who is licensed and insured to give an estimate for the work stating to management company this would likely have to come out of a security deposit.The management company was initially asked prior to me arranging this appointment with contractor, to have someone professional quote the damage, and they disregarded my wishes and without my knowledge, or notifying me, granted consent to the tenant to fix the door " in any way they see fit, and to attempt to fix it themselves to the degree of their liking." 

However, the initial contractor can't start work for about 4 to 6 weeks.

Initially she stated that the bank told her it was a breach of privacy for me to request a statement from her and it was illegal.   

Many leases extend as month-to-month after the initial term.

We initially set up an LLC in Delaware - but now we want to buy property in the Lake Tahoe area so either CA or NV.  

Often it's " I haven't had any issues with my initial properties, but thanks anyway"  or "my mentor showed me how to do it successfully".  

If nothing else, offering a small reward like a gift card to their favorite restaurant (ask when they initially sign the lease) helps.

Section 8 will need to approve your initial rent based on the property and what the tenant can afford.

I paid a substantial $15,000 initiation fee to join this community and was assigned to invest in a Midwest City.Initially, I was optimistic as I was provided with a General Contractor and Real Estate Agent for my team.

Quote from @Don Konipol: Depreciating assets.I don't count investment property because you make the initial investment, and then it pays for itself after that while producing a return.
