Many states allow landlords to enter the property with appropriate notice (often 24-48 hours) for repairs, even if minors are present, as long as it’s done respectfully and with prior notice.Discuss Lease Terms and Future Considerations: If this continues to be a recurring issue, consider including a clause in future leases addressing tenant responsibilities for cooperation with maintenance and repairs to avoid escalating issues.

It will require much less maintenance than if you were to paint it.

It is low key and low maintenance.

I’ve gotten by with just cleaning the roots out annually at a few of our properties with clay pipes, and just replacing sections of collapsed pipes at others and the highest I’ve paid was $10k for replacing a ~30 foot section of collapsed orangeburg (that stuff is the worst).

Holding onto it is a smart decision, and you're entering property investing in a solid position.To get started, focus on ensuring that the rental income will cover your mortgage, taxes, insurance, and any maintenance costs, leaving room for profit.

I'm thinking about outsourcing the maintenance response piece to either Latchel or SuperTenders.

Filling up the property could be tough, and managing multiple tenants annually can be demanding.

I do this annually anyways to up my credit limit to help my score, and to negotiate annual fees.

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

Yes, I probably have some protection, but rely mostly on insurance.NOTE: we manage a lot of Class C properties and unfortunately get sued 2-3 times annually.
