@Errol GrahamI use QuickBooks Online for most of my clients.

Coule of additinal questions:1) do you have a responsible and reasonable contractor you would recommend?

If you've sent notices, allowed the required time, no response, no activity, no water, no rent, garbage left, no sign of anyone.?.

@Austin Tess, if you want more detailed responses you need to provide more pertinent details.

Each tenant would have to accept responsibility and be trained.

What specific responsibilities does the previous manager have to ensure a smooth handover?

I did not know about the Tenant's Rights and Responsibilities form.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

(though excuse my long response 🙂) 1.

If you aren't sure who to choose from, ask each of them for a meeting/consultation to break down your goals, the market, and the acquisition process.Once you've selected one, have them draft the offer for you and take it from there.The best agents are responsive, knowledgeable on the local market, have a strong supporting team (i.e. lenders, title, inspectors, title, etc.), and know how to put together a deal.As @Michael K Gallagher mentioned, you'd want to clarify whether or not your agent is also representing the seller.
