At some point you will need processes for tenant communications - portal, email and text are the only way we communicate with tenants.

I am going to communicate with an agent in both areas and make a decision from there.

Is it common practice for the property manger to not communicate about non payment of rent?

Buyer wants to buy Sub2, communicate to seller, who turns out his mortg guy is a life long close friend so said he will only do what he says is a-ok. 

But 25 years later we don't know that something in our hand would become the command center for everything on how people going to communicate.

The lease terminates on June 30 but I'm thinking of starting the eviction process as they havent paid rent and is not responding to communications.

Also in the beginning, establishing communication frequency and other expectations.

There is 100% better advice on this forum than Youtube, even this forum's youtube channel is trash.To your thesis, we actually agree on facts. 1-3% sounds correct--especially in Dallas-- but you do realize 2023 was 12.5.% YoY. 

This is something I'm considering getting into - and would like insight on:- Cost (what to expect for price per sqft)- Book / Podcast / YouTube Channel recommendations Trying to learn as much as I can - looking forward to getting connected!

@Wayne Kennoff- thanks   1) getting a personal referral is a good place to start 2) if you have narrowed down the options to a few -  contact both on the same  days and ask them for whatever  quotes  for your scenario ...ask for a loan cost worksheet  if  possible .  ...if their pricing ends up being  the same - make a decsion based on the  feel  for  cutoner  service you get when communicating with them.   3)  make sure they  disclose all the fees  related to the  refinance  ( not just their  own fees ) ..4)  reviews are   hard to  use to make a decision ( as you found out ) 5) rates are pretty high right now for rental  properties ....if you can wait to  refinance - you might consider doing so ...if you need to refinance - so be it ...Good luck
