I am a 21 year old and I’m currently employed as a 1099 contractor (intern) for a digital marketing company and have been working there for a little over a year now (Haven’t filed taxes yet).

First, I would recommend calling around to apartments and other PM companies in your area to find out what is common. 

I don’t allow smoking and my insurance company is cracking down and now requiring me to say no smoking on the premises.

I did forget to mention that I have a holding company and an LLC.

Also do you use a property management company or do you manage them yourselves?

Currently, use a property management company and it requires minimal time on my end. 

Whoever sold you this property and the management company are not looking out for your interests.

@Patrick Schwebke Yellowbird (local JAX company) has a facebook group that's very active and I think has monthly meetups, or at least they used to.

The seller chose her escrow company.
