You only need a place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, etc.

But there is a new act called "Justices for Renters" going for ballot in 2024.

I installed smart devices (Nest, Lock, Security System, Garage door openers, Blinds and others)  in my property before listing it on AirBnb. I don't want tenants to go and mess with them. I prefer to give them access ...

With regard to giving a tenant leeway, its very short sighted to evict a tenant with a VERY strong track record for a VERY small shortfall one month, especially when they have been communicative and given you what sounds like a reasonable explanation as to what is going on.

@Eric Justice in Illinois, yes, they do.

This approach allowed us to move quickly and efficiently, ensuring the project stayed on track and was completed without delays.

Yes, probably 50/50 to start and then once you have a strong track record with them, you may have the leverage to try to get a higher percentage on your end since technically what you're doing is more time intensive than what they are doing (cutting a check).

@Eric Justice No they do not.

Hello Ashley ,You are definitely on the right track, I became a real estate agent so I could invest in real estate.

I had a call yesterday with a rep that made me feel confident, but not quite ready to pull the trigger just yet until getting more verified reviews of their track record of returns and service.
