Does anyone have a good inspector recommendation in Chicago northwest suburb ?

Communication with the tenants is key.

Some key qualities to look for include:- **Responsive communication**: A PM company that keeps you in the loop and addresses issues promptly- **Local expertise**: Knowledge of the Birmingham market and experience with Section 8 tenants.- **Proactive maintenance**: Regular inspections and quick resolution of maintenance issues to keep tenants happy and properties in good condition- **Transparent reporting**: Clear and detailed financial reports so you know exactly where your money is goingIf your current PM isn’t meeting these standards, it might be worth exploring other options.

We are building off a pre-existing building structure. 

On Thursday, July 12 my contractor stopped communicating with me. 

New build maybe a bit aggressive getting into real estate unless you have a builder as a partner in a deal to see the full steps or stages that go into new builds.Why new build?

We are deciding between hiring a property management company, finding a full time handyman or a hybrid of hiring a property management company for our bigger buildings and using a handyman contracting company for the easier ones.

I'd recommend communicating more with the PM directly.

Some of these bookings we get through marketing partners who build these relationships and charge referrals fees for finding the housing.

Do not communicate with the tenants except as advised by the attorney.
