On top of this, my tenants are making a mess almost every week and the city is sending notices to clean up the place or pay a fine for them to do it.I have a property manager and we have started to discuss cameras, so we can narrow down who is causing the problem.Does anybody have any recommendations for camera companies that are reasonable and would be easy for my manager to monitor?  

If I could pick the home up as-is and just monitor the situation while continuing to have it as a rental, would that be an option?

Give them a small job and observe/monitor to see what they say and how they perform.

@Alex Deacon how many months of observation did it take and what factors do you monitor to understand your market that well?

Give me an idea of what you want to monitor and I'll give you some ideas on how to monitor it. 

Therefore, I am hoping that we can find a way to self manage.1) We can add certain technologies to help make it more easy to monitor. Ring

Do you know to monitor and ask the qns abt scheduling ?

If water/sewer is a potential lien like it used to be in my area you want to be careful and monitor it, or have it in your name.Check with each utility in your area and ask this question.

If they don't have a maint crew (smaller PMs) and exclusively use contractors, the PM will often charge a 15-20% grossup on the contractor bill for handling it (getting bids, scheduling, monitoring).

Banks can and will refuse to renew performing loans if the bank has no appetite for that loan type when your renewal date comes up, or if the bank is under financial stress and is attempting to shore up its capital.And if you use leverage, I’m an advocate of closely monitoring the debt coverage ratio across your portfolio.
