There is nothing that ruins a business relationship quicker than poor communication and unexpected fees.Some PMs add a flat fee or a percentage on top of maintenance bills.

We help with that piece, as well.Lastly, in my opinion if someone is "too busy to respond"....it's not a good sign for the ongoing relationship! 

As we begin the process of looking for a tenant to rent the other unit, we're wondering how we should frame the relationship with prospective tenants.

I thought the seller and buyers broker split the commission.It is a new way of framing the agency relationship as of 1/1/24 due to the changes happening nationwide.In practice, most sellers are still paying buyer agent commissions as it is a good business decision to do so.

When the cat leaves, the mice will play".Most folks that invest out of state are cat's that are never present.So the realtors, contractors and property manager (The mice), are always playing and making a fortune doing so.You really need to spend a lot of time in establishing the right relationships in order to make it work from afar.Picking a market, visiting it regularly and immersing yourself in it non stop.Having family can also help but I decided a long time ago to not mix business with family and friends as it can get heart breaking when things don't turn out well.Wishing you much success
