For example, you could say, “I’ve noticed the property seems vacant and might require some upkeep.

We use SNOW plows and SNOW blowers , not ICE plows or ICE blowers . 

Hi Amanda,If they are trouble tenant then you should probably provide them whatever the notice period is in the current lease and just have them move out. 

If it's zero, put in a zero, line through it, or something.If you don't use a manager, line through the entire clause and then you and the renter should initial the beginning and end of the line as proof it was agreed to.NHG  (D) As used in this Lease, Landlord’s “Authorized Management Agent” means ______________________________, address:___________________________,who is also authorized to act on behalf of Owner for the purpose of Service of Process and accepting Notices  NHGYes, you would check the line next to the form(s) of payment you accept.

Anything and everything that you can do to show others (and prove to them) that you have a talent for selecting properties and producing actual results.If you do that, people will take notice. 

Start by serving proper notice of the management change and request payment details.

I have a question and would really appreciate your input.I’ve done a couple of fix-and-flip projects in the past using hard money lenders, but I’ve noticed that their fees and interest rates significantly cut into my profits.

There is ZERO chance this tenant took your stuff because they noticed you didn’t say stealing from you wasn’t allowed.

One of them told me they only have to provide 15 days notice, which doesn’t help if I am on vacation for a few weeks or haven’t checked my PO Box in a few weeks.

I’ve noticed that in places like San Antonio or even Omaha, from what I read in Forbes, the best projects come from really tapping into that local network.What you did..approaching the owner, closing fast, scraping the old structure..shows guts and a willingness to get your hands dirty.
