My A class that I own I self manage I have a RE agent that puts them up they find a tenant I require 700 plus fico so that weeds out 90% of renters and then I set them up on auto pay and if they have an issue we send handyman.. to be fair my units are basically new construction and townhouses in HOA's in the Desert ( vegas) so there simply is not a lot of maintenance. there is A class in every city its just that investors get so focused on  positive cash flow they dont buy those for rental purposes so they miss out on the best rental tenants.. the higher the cash flow on paper the lower the quality of the units.. its a fact..

Almost all their competitors simply charge a $1/month/ per unit fee as you grow your portfolio, and I think that approach, still capped at $80/month, would be much better than these big steps.

If the tenant identifies an area of moisture that may be causing growth we immediately address the source of the moisture, replace and damage building material (usually dry wall) and or use mold cleaning solutions/mold blocking primers as required. good luck

My father is not interested in keeping the properties in his name and simply having us manage them, but is open to the concept of us owner financing them from him with a long term, friendly agreement.
