Tenant has been making consistent payments so far so that's not the issue.

There is a flaw in the business model and thier internal processes need a lot of work.First the good,Yes, I got paid every month.Nomad found me good renters.Next the badDue to needing to make the guaranteed rent they rented my unit below market valueIn communicating with Nomad they were disorganized, often sending conflicting messages and not alignedNomad offered to find me a repair company, that compnany charged $400 for a $25 dollar part and I was stuck with Nomad saying "not their problem" and the vendor saying Nomad was the client not me.Nomad was horrible to my renters as their property management term ended.

Prompt, great communication, efficient ... and most importantly they are 100% legit 😉

To communicate that a candidate doesn’t meet your qualifications without violating fair housing rules, you can simply focus on the criteria rather than the individual.

It seems unlikely that he is avoiding you since he has been so consistent.

However, if you clearly communicated a $15K budget, I’d stick to that and ask them to discuss the overages with the contractor to find a resolution.As a side note, always try to maintain reserves for your properties.

Throw in that you can dramatically increase the value of the property once you show consistent rent rolls much higher than when the space was used for LTR, and you have a big win. 

You would have to be significantly cheaper than my current cleaners for me to give you a shot, because I generally have only changed cleaners for either consistent subpar work or increasing/unreasonable prices.

Continually communicate clearly with all parties involved to make sure that expectations are as close to realistic timelines as possible.

They have since moved on to a new manager that is in close communication with me to get the repairs done and SDIRA is even offering to pay me the missing rent for December that the evicted tenant never paid.
