@Robert Spiegel Great question, and it’s always a balancing act when dealing with long-term tenants who’ve been fantastic overall.Based on my experience managing over 1,200 rental homes in North Texas, including areas like Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, and Frisco, here’s how I would approach this:Cleaning Charge: While $540 may feel steep, it can vary depending on the size of the property and local market rates.

Also, you could also hang out at some local ice rinks where people take their kids to hockey practice!

Perhaps the numbers are different in your locale, and again, that is fine.

What is the recourse for the tenant who signed the lease under each individuals name?

Facebook Groups, local meetups

Anyone could figure it out.The rental is in my name only and always has been.

Hey Isadore, Send the tenant a notice of non-payment and have the tenant go down to their local public housing authority office, HRA, or Department of Social Service office and provide them with the notice.

My name is Andrew Grove, I am using my dad's Bigger Pockets account to reach out for help and advice.

I can put in touch with a couple of local insurance agencies.  

To build momentum, I’d start small, assemble a reliable local team, and ensure the properties I invest in have strong fundamentals.
