The transaction seems smooth , it was not cashing out then buying it.

Any ideas how I can help these houses run smooth?

I have another long term tenant in a different property and that runs smoothly. 

But it wasn’t a smooth transaction.

My client used to have a property-management company, and we found, once we took over managing his properties, that things actually ran more smoothly and the tenants are happier. 

Seems wise to leverage a smooth program that has been operating and refined over the years. 

Happy to say things are going smooth now.Thank you.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, consider consulting a local property manager who can help you plan for the deferred maintenance and set up rental operations smoothly.

Dealing with them has been smooth.

A few examples:PMI if you put down less than 20%HOA fees or budgeting for your own maintenance costsZillow Estimates: I found Zillow can underestimate costs, so I add a bit more to their numbers to get a realistic idea.Hope the process is going smoothly for you!
