@John Underwood agreed, everyone refer to it as the “ STVR or STR tax code rule”.

@Tina LiaoTenant screening includes a credit check, a background check, income verification, references, and interviews to determine financial responsibility.

PMC RECOMMENDATIONRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

. :)You want to refer to Iowa Code 562a Uniform Landlord and Tenant LawIn particular, read 562A.12, 562A.29 and 562A.33.I'm not an attorney but your case appears to fall under "abandonment" or "surrender."

I met with a new bookkeeper today and she referred me to the SCORE Mentorship Program.

I'm not an investor yet but can refer you to someone who does flips here.

Hope your "far away from other rental" units are close to some commercial.City or County housing authority keeps participating landlords on file and are usually happy to refer folks.

If you need references for either of them in San Diego, let me know.

Just for reference, our interest rate is 7.2% with an all-in mortgage (PITI) of $2,040.

Any references for that are appreciated!
