I am currently living out of state so I have hired a property management company to handle this task, however, my home is still sitting vacant with very few prospective tenants.

It can make leasing a bit harder since you will have more vacancy when those come do but it will all be in peak season.With respect to the hiring decision, you would need to hire someone to replace you (perform the same functions you currently perform) so that you continue to work up the ladder (spending more time on higher value tasks).  

That strategy actually makes your lead management team much more efficient because it outsources the mind-numbing tasks to the robots and lets the humans focus on what humans do best. 

Great job!!

@Tamika Davis One of the biggest advantages of most software on the market is to complete these tasks you mention (maintenance, leases, rent collection, etc).

We decided to outsource major tasks such as septic installation, plumbing, heating, and carpentry, while handling smaller projects ourselves—a decision that proved beneficial.

You can ask (if it's not obvious) what the nature of the disability is and what task(s) the dog has been trained to perform.

The document is pretty explicit with contingencies should anything go sideways along the way though so this helped a lot to keep everyone on task. we've built rapport at this point since we've been in constant communication from when we started but in the beginning, it was a lot of trust in the document.
