When you inherit tenants, sometimes they are testing you to see how you are as an owner.

Maybe you do a light rehab and raise rents.

There’s 7 tests for materially participation.

You can also raise rent each year to the following years current market rent.

Even with a dozen properties I might need a plumber twice a year, an electrician once, and a handyman a few times  not often enough to be remembered or get priority service  They raise rents faster and higher than I ever would, this alone virtually pays their 8% management fee and $300 new tenant acquisition fee.

Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

I got the tenants on board by promising not to raise the rent that year.

As a side note, Floridas current insurance issues are mostly caused by other factors besides the increase in severity and frequency of natural disasters however (roofing scams and no caps on lawyers fees for claims, both results of bad government policy that resulted in most insurance companies leaving the state and the remaining ones raising rates to account for having to pay for all of the roofing scams and absurdly high attorney fees on simple claims). 

The three reasons sellers typically choose the off-market route are privacy, potential savings, and price testing.

@Bob StevensI was making an assumption that rent was not up to FMR For example in my county if you forget to ask for your yearly raises the dispersion becomes massive and eventually FMR changes can be drastic YoY for a new packet versus keeping an existing relationship.
