Go to your local rent court proceedings for eviction - you surely will find some referrals thereAsk the tenant to manage themselves - they can call for maintenance - and deposit their rent check into your account at the bank when due - give them deposit slipsTrain someone to do the things you don't want to do - pay them a percentage of the rent - there are lots of folks who would love to do this for youManagement takes a big bit out of your profits - be smart save the bucks - do it yourself - it ain't that hard.

Get your deposit back and move on or suck it up.
