Your insurance company likely has a no smoking clause on your policy and will back you up as you suspect this.

I researched some eviction attorneys and property management companies who offer 'problem tenant' services so most likely will reach out to them.

My company owns about 3,000 MF units, along with some retail, industrial, and Assisted Living. 

Bird in hand is better than 2 in the bush, especially when the two in the bush do not have the money.we are seeing a lot of companies now try and get seller financing and then arbitrage it to renters - similar to STR arbitrage but just arbitrage it with a loan and collect the rent and if the tenant stops paying they walk away and you are stuck with the home, the foreclosure and the subsequent eviction.

If you treat your PM like a company that just unclogs a toilet then you're really short changing yourself. 

If you need help evaluating properties here, let me know.We have so many companies moving here and expanding here.

- Lastly I would also consider recommendations for a company who offers HELOCS (NOT cash out refi) for rental properties.

Starting a hard money lending company makes sense to me since I have hundreds of contacts in this business that I've built relationships for years, as well as it aligns with my origination background. 

Just call a local title company, find one with good reviews, and ask them to give you an idea of the fees. 

.: I would only buy single family homes in the best locations I could afford rather than messing with multifamily and less great locations, and I would use my local credit union for loans because they keep them in-house and service them in-house, so that I wouldn’t have to deal with loans being passed around among all the sketchy loan servicing companies.
