We will cut them loose if we have to, but I think the old landlord just made it too easy for them.  

I was considering going into real estate investing because I would like to cut out the middle man ( the broker that is) lol and have some diversity with my license, not just helping people buy and sell houses.

I don't self-manage this property which definitely cuts into my profits, but I'll still consider this a win for now because it's appreciating at an average rate of 9-10% a year.

If you go forward, make sure they handle all maintenance & repairs on the property too because these organizations typically have in-house staff..Snaking toilets, repairs, grass cut, snow removal, paint...Make sure you're covered with insurance as well. 

The Tree cutting issue was discussed in more detail on another post intitled "Unlicensed Property Management Company in Jackson Mississippi".

And the death-song has been the moment any accountability crops up for such a consumerism, the laser focus of protecting the consumer economy means blame Blame BLAME someone, something ANYTHING else for the falter because we "need" the consumerism...... 

You can cut the house off on 5 acres and sell for a little less than you paid for the total ($150,000 less). 

But I would say “Consider your timing.”Real estate is expensive right now, and money  is expensive right now (APR wise).The fed is expected to start cutting rates later this year.  

@Alexandra Reeves, in my experience, tape measure or laser measure is about the only reliable measuring device.  

You're cutting him a check if the property doesn't close?
