Government assistance/tax credits are of course a consideration that is factored in to the cost/benefit analysis of any form of new energy generation, as all forms of energy are heavily subsidized and always have been, long before solar entered the equation. 

I was hired to get things back on track, but she wouldn't play ball, so I filed for eviction.

Additionally, we have developed templates for tracking key metrics that we require our PMs to fill out weekly. 

Here are additional comments:1) Buying out of state removes any local knowledge you have from assisting in your success, including knowing areas, people and costs. - We always recommend buying your first rental locally if possible and DIY managing to learn as much as possible before investing OOS.2) Lots of crooks and incompetents in the PMC world:( They both cost you money.- As already stated, you'll have a small portfolio.

I’m also in the process of launching a new home inspection company, which I’m confident will help me get back on track financially.

This is not one of them from my recollection.I know this does not assist but what I would say is continue to do research on them.

They provide one-on-one assistance from my specially assigned   advisor if I need more extensive assistance for an hour a day during zoom, in 15 min interval appts.

For another business I run I do post daily accountability in a FB/mentorship group and that does help me stay on track.

@Tom OchiengI would reach out to a real estate attorney for specific advice on this situation since you already have one tenant who is being difficult.On a side note, when I have inherited tenants, I have been most successful when I have provided longer non-renewal notices, like 60-90 days, and offered to assist with moving costs.

I can have multiple one use code for contractors so I can control access without physically going there.You do not need to carry the key, just need to keep track all codesMain disadvantage is that the locking requires the door to close properly, otherwise the tenant may not know the door is not licked.
