I appreciate any insight and advice given.

I also stated that if they harmed the home in the process of these repairs, by not using a licensed and trained professional, it would cost me extra.They responded saying they don't feel I can unilaterally request that a tenant not make these repairs, and they would not notify the tenant to cease work.As it stands, I am allowed to have a contractor who is competent look at the job, quote it, but I am not allowed to do the work with that person, until the tenant has had a shot at it.I cannot believe how basically unprofessional, and dangerous this situation is for all parties involved and want confirmation as the woman who works at this management company has no legal degree, and is constantly attempting to wave the legal flag like an expert.

However, as a real estate agent with expertise in the Tampa market, you have unique insights and opportunities that could potentially yield higher returns through real estate investments.

There is an experienced community here that when you as the right questions you can get some good insights.

I've talked to couple RE agents and for the most part, they are great at sharing their insights to investors. 

Some are even getting creative with their deals, using strategies like seller financing or joint ventures to reduce their dependence on traditional loans.It’s definitely a challenging environment, but with the right strategy, there are still plenty of opportunities out there.Thanks for sharing your insights!

Most people don't, that is not my expertise, I count on my broker to be the expert and to give me what I need that is reasonable.  

I’m looking to connect with others about investing in these areas, whether to provide support and hopefully guidance to avoid landmines or to learn and gain insight and share resources in order to gain strength though shared successes, challenges and ideas

And if you've been through this yourself, any insights on what to expect would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much for this invaluable insight.
