Just have the key locked up somewhere with a combination.

Hemlane offers property management through our innovative model where we send 100% of the rent to you so that you can control and approve expenditures as well as have full transparency into the day-to-day so you always know what's going on and can make key decisions. 

For example, touting that you've never done a capital call or given back keys on a property when in the background, you're having to negotiate with current lenders on loan modifications so that you can delay capital calls and/or giving back keys. 

My house was closed on 11/30 and since then I asked the property manager to pick up the house key from my local realtor, and do an inspection on the house to make the house rent ready.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.I've been investing in the industry since 2007 and spend the better part of the last 3 years patiently waiting for market fundamentals to improve which we believe they have and should have some opportunities in the near future.

If you do pay them to leave, do not hand over any money until they give you the keys and you have walked through the place.

Again, being very focused on key buildings close to new constructions being delivered in 2-4 years, in key growth areas, you can get good deals and cash in apprecitation in the mid-long run.In older buildings, if you are not financially solid, it's recommended to sell before HOA and Special Assessment will put you out of business. 

I just signed up for pro membership and look forward to using it's key features to help me further along in investing.

I have a potential property im looking at that is one side of a duplex and is 3 beds 3 bath (1500 sq ft) with potential for a 4th bedroom in basement according to realtor. The projected rents on the low side if I rent...

It's wise to stay informed, be patient, and consider diversifying your strategy.
