We have had numerous Clients come to our property management team that were told their property was in great shape and basically move in ready only to have our property manager walk it and have a list of 20+ things they find that should be done before placing a tenant.

Lastly, when i try and call them to speak to my property manager 99% of the time I wind up having to submit a note in their portal and wait for a call back.As to to the new garage door that will be installed by the tenant, I wish they would be more involved, giving the tenant some options of companies to call, and to walk them through the repair process.Am i wrong in any of these thoughts or concerns about my current PM---or---do i need to let the property manager do their thing and learn to take a step back?

I did have a construction management company walk a few properties that I was considering making an offer on/made an offer on (deals didn't go through) - the renovation costs consistently were over what I projected with my numbers and their opinion of the ARVs was lower (if you were planning to do a BRRRR, which I didn't). 

If you decide to borrow, make sure you find a lender that will walk with you through the process and is not there for a quick commission. 

Include a walk out basement with living space in basement.

I can assure you, I would have those tenants out as quickly as possible, then I could complete my inspections and either accept the sales price, negotiate repairs or a price reduction, or walk away from the deal.

I had a tenant that was imagining noises from the upstairs tenants and would not put up with normal noise such as walking, doors closing etc at reasonable hours. 

With the exception of properties that are walking distance to campus or the hospitals, many owners are now STRing in the fall during football season.

Its gonna take 50 years until the legislature figures a way to walk back some of these anti landlord laws and get housing numbers back to what it was.

@Kyle SimmonsYeah, 1-2% is fair, but as mentioned previously, as the seller you can ask for whatever amount that you feel comfortable with so the buyer doesn't have the urge to just walk away from the deal without having anything to lose.
