HI @Amir PortalWe connected the other day on bigger pockets and we spoke on the phone.

I own a mobile home that I rent out and I am looking to make my first MFH purchase this upcoming year to house hack. 

When I subsequently asked the tenant over the phone how many cats she had she said four, which is likely half the number she actually has, but is still a lease violation.At this point I feel like it’s pointless to even ask if the cats are neutered (and therefore less likely to spray urine on walls) because clearly she is willing to lie to me and her attitude seems to be that she makes the rules not me or the lease.

GC in my area cost 10% of the total and I would say that is worth it for what they provide, but if you have the knowledge and willingness to be on the phone with subs (and spend a lot of time on site) you could save that by DIYing it.

They are also useful for private phone conversations and could be used for storage of valuables as they could be locked.I'd love to be able to broach this idea with other nationalities and cultures but it's really hard if they're not working very long hours and have hours of free time at home.  

Last time I did that, years ago, I got off the phone and figured it out myself. 

Quote from @Jackie Liu: Hello BP member, I have a friend who currently owns several SFH rentals that is currently managed by a PM in Indiana, according to them the PM has been unresponsive for 3 months, all their attempts to reach the PM has been uneventful (phone, message, etc.).

See, Nada, only new phone."

They’re requesting what feels like an unreasonable amount of information, and the demands keep escalating.So far, they’ve asked for:A video tour of my home officeCredit checks on me and my partnerCopies of the deeds for every property we ownA copy of my partner’s home lease and utility billsBusiness phone billsA signed letter from the bank verifying our accountsBank statementsHonestly, it feels more like qualifying for a loan than trying to become a customer.

If you DM me your email and phone number, I will pass it on to my contact and introduce you..
