Without control in the deal, you’re at the mercy of both the lender and the seller, which is not a good place to begin in real estate investing.Because you’re not putting any of your own money into the deal, neither the lender nor the seller has much incentive to be flexible if problems arise.

They can introduce themselves face-to-face with the tenants, change the locks to control the property, get a copy of the lease from the tenant or sign a new one, etc.As for the old PM, it sounds like they owe you a copy of the lease and other paperwork (required by law), undelivered rent and security deposit, etc.I would compile your documentation and file a complaint with the Ohio real estate commission.
