2.How can I better evaluate and communicate an investor’s return on investment (ROI)?

You should be able to search (if your county has online records) for your tenant’s name and/or all previous addresses listed on the tenant’s credit report.

One small tip: keep your communication channels clear and open with your property manager.

I've found that having a good team of people who trust each other, stay in their lanes, and communicate are the biggest reasons we have succeeded.

As you progress, maintaining a clear line of communication with your team, especially your property manager, will allow you to stay ahead of maintenance issues and tenant needs, keeping your operations smooth and your tenants happy.If you haven't done so already, consider outlining your goals and investment criteria with a property manager early on.

To clarify, in every area I know of, listing agents are allowed to offer a commission, they just aren't allowed to use the MLS to communicate it.

•Tenants demand prompt, high-quality service and without caring about cost •Vendors seek to earn as much compensation for their work as possible.Balancing these needs requires thoughtful stewardship, strong communication, and a commitment to fairness.

Although the official language is English, it is comical sometimes let’s call it my failure to communicate.  

Single lane driveway = not good for MTR in a multifamily because tenants will not want to communicate with the other unit to move their cars.

I highly encourage all my tenants to keep open communication with me about any struggles to pay rent, and generally they do.
