Those are good leads I'm happy to pay for.What burns my britches is paying for a service that does not deliver. 

I'm already using RentRedi to screen tenants, receive rent, deliver messages, but I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions on either a software or virtual assistant type platform that helps them automate maintenance requests...

Maybe I will change my mind in a few years but for now, the wounds are too fresh.

Thanks for any advice or insights you can share—I’m excited to make a fresh start here and connect with everyone in SW Michigan and beyond!

I’d also advise being cautious with turnkey listings that look overly perfect—they often come with a higher price tag and might not deliver the promised returns.Also, I’d encourage you to really assess property management options.

We work with a company that delivers furnace filters to their door every quarter. 

At first, he never responded to the suit though it had been delivered, and I continued moving the process forward, filing for summary judgement.Late in the process, long after his deadlines to respond had passed, he hired a small time tenant attorney to intervene.

How you deliver the message would depend on your current relationship, I'd recommend just delivering a letter to them or their mailbox.

She too was delivering food to help pay for their $80 a night extended-stay hotel room.
