I have read many times that if you notify someone and they don't do anything then they own the blame because they knew of the risk and chose not to correct it.Your correct if a healthy tree or limb falls on your property then you have to fix the damage yourself.Consult an attorney and your insurance company to confirm.

Also confirm that county maintenance liens are added to the tax debt.Fourth, you can contact your county ordinance department, usually those who handle house condemnations and mowing liens, and provide them with the property tax number, photos of the violation with a complaint from the named neighbor about the risk. 

For the minor stain, I would probably get in touch with the cleaner to confirm whether it was there before and/or to correct the issue but again your property manager should probably be doing that. 

Here are some things to consider:Most investors don't need software until they have 5-10 rentals.

i am confident i can manage the relatively small amount of requests, and have heard some good things about apps and software that are a "one stop shop" for landlords that allow payment, leases, and repair requests. i have one out of state rental property with a plethora of options for handymen and contractors around. i have been paying a property management company 8% plus all of their inflated costs of repairs and fees and with insurance going up it has really opened my eyes to my margins not as healthy as i would like.do you have a certain product you have used or use or would recommend?

It would be worth paying a third party to go and check the work for you to confirm it's completed before sending the funds. 

Just to confirm, for an owner-occupied home (one you live in) you have to live in the property for 2 out of the last 5 years in order to claim the $500k exception for married couples.

So just to confirm, the next meeting is on Monday, February 24th?
