Communication is always key. 

. - Finding a Good Team: Since there is a language barrier in place it was much harder to communicate with any cleaning companies/property managers we found. 

In August he switched to paying 50% to 75% of rent due and stopped communicating. its a month to month lease so i had to give 30 days.

This was sudden and no previous communication on listings that have hit their site previously.

Communication is challenging, most likely uninsured, but this is in-line with the budget.c) Keep searching for contractors, adding time to project and potentially costs.d) Buy scaffolding or rent scaffolding or a lift and demo myself for under $1,500, including dumpster.What would you do??

Might be time to look at other options ..We have good communication and they are very knowledgeable but might be over extended working on other properties . 

He has also played a key role in facilitating communication between the new tenants and myself, ensuring a smooth coordination of arrival times and addressing any specific needs they may have.

The company that has the best communication of the DST's that I have is Passco. 

Are they communicating with you all the time with updates etc? 

Communication is key!
