It is important that you hire professionals who have experience working with foreign investors.

I just want enough stable revenue to pay yearly expenses, hire a property management team, and pay the debt preferably in 5-10 years.

All it takes is for you to slip up once and somebody to hire a predatory attorney.

So based on this, the tenant is allowed to take a shot at fixing the door jambs any way they feel is acceptable, and if it is not to my liking upon their exit, I can then hire someone to remedy the situation and fix it to my liking.what is this nonsense? 

Alternatively, he could hire a handyman, etc. to finish up what he was responsible for and he can pay them directly.Alternatively, since you both own it, you could take on 100% of the management and your brother pays you X% of the rent like a property manager.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

Hopefully an attorney I can hire to get more done as I have not been able to.  

@Moshe Marciano it will be up to the title or escrow company to allow the closing to take place by putting funds in escrow until resolution.Often, they will want 125-150% of the amount in dispute to cover additional interest charges, etc.If this is allowed, you can then hire an attorney to sue the PMC for slander of title.

@Rob BlockVerifications should be done by the sponsor - they hire a third party. 99.9% chance none have done it because in the past they have not had too.

I hired a property management company to manage my rental property near Temecula, CA.
