The handyman would reach out to the tenant to coordinate availability, then coordinate with you on the issue and fixes needed.The Smart locks are a game changer.

I understand this is not a requirement, but I have never received a damaged unit from an inherited tenant or any legal issues.

Some of the issues I have clarified so far from this and other forums:1.

I’m interested in purchasing an investment property with equity I’ve developed in my current home, however I’m concerned that if I have an issue renting out the new home it can blow up in my face.

of course the sale of hurricane damaged houses also confuses the issue (my house had no such damage but is only about 4 blocks from houses that did).

There were a number of issues, but the big one was a "repair" charge they lied about.

Tenant issues?
