I really am enjoying this thought exercise. 

You do seem to know this area!

Quote from @Michael Goddard: I know the area and have already looked at this property.

Hope you found some of this info helpful! 

Hey everyone, here's my quick intro: I live in Calabasas, CA and I'm moving to the PNW this summer.

I'm not seeing any mention of this.

The initial condition report, tenant communications, and maintenance requests were properly recorded, proving that this issue had existed long before our management began.When the lawsuit came in, both the property owner and our company were off the hook—all because we had a clear, well-documented paper trail showing that the negligence occurred under the previous management.This situation reinforced one of the most valuable lessons in property management: Documentation isn’t just paperwork—it’s protection.✅ Always keep thorough records✅ Make communication traceable✅ Ensure maintenance requests are properly logged and addressedYou never know when good documentation will save you from a nightmare scenario.What’s the wildest property management situation you’ve encountered?

If this is a long term hold you'll want to have finishes that match comps, but are also still very durable for tenants.

Hi everyone, hoping to revive this thread.

They all say they will be on the lookout for me, and they are experienced realtors.I did however get one from here, bigger pockets, and this realtor hasn't worked with investors before, butis asking me to sign a contract so I am working with them exclusively.The reason I am asking what to do, is because this realtor with the contract is very new, but I heard that most realtors will ask you to sign one if theyre serious.
