You'll really need to screen your property manager/contractors.

Specifically, I’d love to hear about best practices for managing shared spaces, screening tenants, and setting up house rules.Additionally, I plan to split the utilities among the tenants—any advice on how to handle this efficiently would be greatly appreciated!

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

Focus on tenant screening, building a local team, and learning as much as you can, starting early sets you up for long-term success!

I think that '25 will be a transition year ("end the dive in '25") for the reasons you stated--construction will fall off in Q2-3 but demand will remain...that sparks rent growth.Interest rates:  Yes, flat to up. 

The fee is a flat $495 for a one-one exchange.

Markets stay flat for five years and you've been bleeding cash then what?

But around here some of the screening services that claim to do background checks do a lousy job of it.

Just make sure you screen, screen, screen.
