I have a contact in the city dept of Kyle.

I have a recommendation for a nice PM that does really well. 

Competing with Experienced ProfessionalsNew agents may feel overwhelmed by more established competitors in the industry.Solution: Focus on your unique strengths, provide excellent customer service, and embrace modern technology to differentiate yourself.The challenges of being a new realtor or investor are real, but they’re not insurmountable.

I know a guy that runs a great one in Tampa if you want me to connect you two (I know that is farther away). 

I appreciate it.

@Robert Spiegel Great question, and it’s always a balancing act when dealing with long-term tenants who’ve been fantastic overall.Based on my experience managing over 1,200 rental homes in North Texas, including areas like Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, and Frisco, here’s how I would approach this:Cleaning Charge: While $540 may feel steep, it can vary depending on the size of the property and local market rates.

I would also ask them about cash for keys since I would initially offer the tenant this. 

I successfully cohost 2 MTRs fully remotely - one in Richmond, VA, and another in Palm Springs, CA.

I need a little advice.
