If you have been using expensive vendors, consider switching to more affordable service providers or negotiating bulk discounts for regular services like landscaping or repairs.

@Lucas Morales, whether you handle in-house or through a vendor, I would certainly make sure you understand who is responsible for damage and theft.  

Insufficient reserves result in vendor bills piling up, value-add strategies running behind schedule, and returns being reduced, so it's important to have a clear picture about how well capitalized or undercapitalized a deal is so that you can truly assess the risk.

So this would explain why new payment requests are on a Chase Bank account.Remember to get releases of liens from all vendors and subcontractors before making payments.

So I started my research on comps and there are a few vendors out there that do these ag profit sharing agreements but I could find NONE in which investors said things working out great. 

Can't see how the additional $5 per resident who "opted-in" would be worth the potential damage that might come from the towing service vendor doing a sloppy job or worse, damaging a vehicle.

If you used a good investor-friendly realtor to buy your property, they should be able to give you their preferred list of vendors for any issues that may arise.

Customer service for our clients, residents, vendors, and even our team is paramount.  

I pulled the recorded liens against the properties, most of which relate to 1) City of San Antonio fines for mowing and demolition, and 2) Vendor's Liens.Two questions for the BP Community:  1) Are the City fines extinguished at tax sale? 

They have a ton of great info to help you learn best practices, find vendors, learn different things and network with other people in the industry.
