Do a Welcome letter to everyone the day you take over, include who they now make payment to, your contact emergency number, and let them know you look forward to meeting them.As far as leases, you don't want to renew or give everyone same date for renewal, stagger your renewal dates so you won't risk having 3 empty units.

But you can add language to your leases when they renew or you get new tenants that says the if there is plowing required that the cost will be divided and billed to the renters.  

Would like to see where everyone goes to for their up to date RE news and data.

Leases are usually transferred as to original terms, and once the terms are met, new owner can change terms with renewal as he thinks best.  

If it were me, I would make nice, put in the grass like it should have been, wait for her lease to be up and let her know when you get to that time frame (not before, you don't want to deal with any passive-aggressiveness) that you won't be renewing and she will be looking for a new place to live.

I don't normally do lease renewals, as it just seems to just be a reminder for them to consider shopping for a new place to live.  

He owes $118K on the house, its a rental and his tenants just renewed their lease for $1,400/mo, and the property is being professionally managed.  

I am a member with one of my other businesses and my renewal is coming up very soon.  

I think getting your license is a great step.I'm contemplating whether I'm going to get my agent's license or to renew my wife's license.  

The average agent makes somewhere around 35K a year and that is pure feast or famine which is why most agents get in the biz and leave before their first license renewal.
