From my experience, multifamily rentals often attract tenants who submit maintenance requests for minor issues since they usually lack the tools or experience for basic repairs.

I agree (mostly) except something tells me that come spring we will see a change in the RE market......more 'back to normal' for lack of a better term.With the interest rates likely IMO to drop (Due to the upcoming election and the current Prez putting pressure on the Fed) combined with the built-up pressure from the market being stagnant in '23, there has to be a release of sorts.

My property managers will send the bad debt to a collection agency, but the chances of anything happening are very slim.

I’m all for working with someone and meeting them where they to a degree, but something we’ve encountered is just simple lack of communication.

In San Antonio, contractors are required to register with Development Services and obtain liability insurance.So, just reach out to the agency and see what they say.  

Yes, the issue has been the primary focus on on-market homes and that's partially been because of the lack of success in finding off-market homes.

I came across a property that is magnificent but I lack the finances to purchase it out right.

Sorry for the lack of good advice but we are in one of the biggest home sales droughts in U.S. history so it’s just a tough market. 

And honestly I'm kinda worried about how it all goes due to my current lack of knowledge, but I'll do my best to make it work out no matter what.

When I left Germany, I arranged for a local tax agency to help prepare my taxes each year, since that is a necessity.
