Finally, if you can’t or don’t want to handle it this way (many people think it’s too “cold” or “harsh” or just cannot operate this way) then send your rentals back to a good property manager who WILL treat it like business.

It's a really harsh chemical but will help strip everything off before you get to repainting.

The effort usually put in to trying to sue others is usually better served trying to find better ways to succeed for yourself.I hope that does not come off too harsh, as I honestly feel your pain. 99% of the folks in the investment world are feeling pain, so that makes it difficult to find very many professional investors who are receptive to others crying on their shoulder.

Not trying to be harsh here, but if you don't understand landlord tenant law, especially in a landlord friendly state, you should absolutely not try to self manage.

Maybe a little harsh on Mr.

But if it breaks no laws and is just a little harsh to some people, that would not stop me.

That’s harsh lol.

I worry I may be a bit harsh on this but I don't want to continue being so lenient either..TL;DR: New general contractor has me setting up subcontractors, does not stay in budget, does not communicate issues, pushes dates.

Richard, I am curious if you've ever read "The Section 8 Bible," and if so, what your thoughts are on that harsh a management style.The book's basic concept is, "Provide ONLY what is required, and not one thing extra, because it's going to be the source of constant repair or replacement."

This sounds harsh but this is true.Do not rely on timing.
