Things they did bad which I wish I had asked more information about:Never involved in the screening of tenantsThey recommended keys for cash by waiving the rent amount buy only collecting fees which they would get not meThe cost to evict is 750-950 yet other companies told me they will include eviction in the priceThe tenant didnt pay in full last month and I was the one calling out to them and asking questions then a few days later I get an email saying something happened with the tenant and they are investigating.You get passed from person to person every week or so.No one told me when the construction was complete and so the house was ready for a week and the post to zillow and other sites was not done.It took them another week to take pictures and then another week to upload it.I was paying 200 dollar a month electric bills while the house was vacant because they left the AC running in the empty property.

While your lease may indicate that the tenant pays, the biggest problem with this is that tenants will stop reporting issues for fear of paying.

Outside of the police report, I would just ensure all window and doors lock or functional.

For example, you might agree to a 70/30 or 60/40 split, depending on his level of involvement.

I hope you found the Google reviews before getting involved.

Provided W2/Paystubs/references and credit report matches previous rental addresses.

Then there were some issues with the inspection report that ruined 3 contracts prior to me getting involved.

I was not involved in contracts, funds, etc. 

Your cousin should contact the lender to discuss his options.If he rents it out, he must report rental income and expenses (e.g., mortgage interest, taxes, repairs, depreciation) on Schedule E starting when the property is placed in service.

I am reporting every one of them now as this has gone on for years and is ridiculous that people don't know how to follow the law!
