Our company is actually starting an Asset Management Mastermind to address these infrastructure issues and share our systems and procedures.

I have not had good communication with the property management team either so in the next month or so I am switching over to another company I have already spoke with who also recommended seeing how long I can go with complimentary property management.I'm actually just a little concerned with whether the tenant is being taken care of or not.

Hey Tod, I took a very brief look at your first listing, airbnb.com/h/newport1bedroom, and the thing that jumps out at me as far as improving it is: address the 1-star review head on without attacking the reviewer.

My only concern to look out for is that things can go 'rural' pretty quickly if you start venturing outside of town, and most lenders are going to put the brakes on financing if the appraisal lists the property as 'rural' (has to do with what they perceive as the availability of future tenants).Watertown, NY - It probably is as good as you believe, but the lending licensing is pretty tricky up there, so its just  bit more difficult to find lenders that operate up there.

I really wanted to convert the residence to a rental property, but everything I have heard about doing so in Cook County has been very concerning.

Typically those purchasing cash aren't inspecting every home, they're walking it or having their go to GC walk it and already know what they see that may be a concern. 

A quick non-political note on two topics I can’t seem to avoid: mass-deportation and tariffs.I am not concerned about the saber-rattling from the TV talking heads about “mass deportation” and “tariffs.”

If I represent buyers, I like to include my name and contact information along with a sentence that if anything changes after the signing but before the sale, the tenant is obligated to notify me in writing or it waives any of those changes.Buyers might have other tenant concerns that are specific to a property.

They need a contract with email addresses and social security numbers to provide the amount.

Perhaps valid concerns.
