Its always good to do your own move in evaluation with photos or video and upload to the tenant file.

And than video, should always have a walk through video tour, a decent one, not some shaky running around spinny spinny thing.

Thank youI just read that he can get on a video chat with them on Zoom, Google Meet, Teams or some other video chat with a Notary Public or someone from a law office to be present with him.

To become an REP you have to:- spend 750hrs or more in real estate investing activities (looking at zillow, watching BP youtube videos, actual property mgt, etc)- spend more time on real estate activities than any other single area (like a w2 job)My wife is a REP while I work at a W2, this allows us to take deductions from passive investing against our active income and saves us thousands of dollars every year on taxes.

In this video Gene Trowbridge shows why this practice may come to an end.

Akshay,You can just start doing video's with no pants on.That's what I do to stand out hahaYou probably won't get any baby boomer clients as those folks like to judge a book by it's cover and prefer being swindled by someone wearing a suit and tie.On the other hand, you will get a lot of corky folks that "get it" and will be happy to throw some business your way.I'm very good at being professional unprofessionally hahaAll the best mate

If I can get a solid feel of the surrounding through the internet, the broker sends me a video of the interior, and trained professional send me a property condition report, what value do I bring being at the property that I can't do remotely.Now I'm not saying you shouldn't go look at your real estate or travel if you are going to buy a building.

Look for real estate forums, legal case studies, or even news articles that document how property owners have navigated similar challenges.Industry Networking: Engage with real estate investment groups or professional associations where members might have encountered similar issues.

Take into account the travel time, phone / video time, mistakes along with all the other economic factors.

That is a long story but the summary was keeping engaged with the tenant kept a bad situation from becoming worse,   and eventually convinced them to move out.I don't disagree with standing your ground and holding the tenant responsible for paying for damage they caused,   but good luck getting a lump sum payment from any tenant,  especially a section 8 one.
