Also, separate question, if I want to keep them on as month-to-month indefinitely (since so long as rents are below market and their presence makes it hard for me to improve the apartments a year-long lease seems more to their advantage than mine) do I establish a "month-to-month lease" with them that would stipulate when rent is due and what happens at what date when you don't pay, what their responsibilities and mine are, where people can park, etc.?

That said, the liability of knowing about the presence of asbestos in the living area or HVAC system (ie in plaster or floor tiles, duct wrap/mastic), but not disclosing it could come back to bite you if something ever did occur.Much of our building stock is old here in the east - 1920s-1930s would be newer buildings in some neighbourhoods.

@Ryan Gillette so this is actually my first year at this company, but I took over a territory that already had a solid sales history that will be there regardless of a salesperson being present or not.

I am a south FL investor as well feel free to reach out and lets grow our presence on here!!

So one just needs to be careful or one needs to be there, you can mitigate these by having local presence..
