Very helpful for me, another new REI who is recovering from analysis paralysis and seeking a real estate opportunity. 

Some landlords have a master tenant who collects rent from the other tenants but that's not the best way to set it up - I think it could potentially open up the tenant trying to seek legal action against the investor and say that they're under rent control protection with any rent increase. 

I don't know if the situation with the "nasty" tenant is salvageable or if there is any legitimate basis for their treatment of you and your staff. 

Fast forward a few weeks later, she states to me that her back has been hurting since then and after seeking advice from her doctor, they suggested she see a specialist.

If you're simply seeking leverage for additional properties you can tap banks and hard money/private money lenders.

Like @Michael Bowman previously stated, I am completely comfortable paying a set fee to cover administrative costs as long as that fee is reasonable, established upfront and the PM is seeking to negotiate the best rate on my behalf. 

I'm reaching out seeking some insights and advice regarding a rental property I currently have listed in Greenwich, CT.https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/33-Talbot-Ln-APT-3-Greenw...I have a beautiful 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom townhouse available for rent, featuring amenities such as central air, a spacious deck, a one-car garage, and an attic, along with one designated parking spot.

@Jalen De Leon I find it is always wise to seek out local lenders who truly understand the specific market you're interested in.

Readers are advised to seek professional advice.
