Sometimes the tenants are coming from shelters or other communal type of housing where maintaining a space my not be solely there responsibility so maintaining the unit may not be to your liking. 

Thank you all for your responses—they are very much appreciated!

For example,  providing a heating source for your tenant is your responsibility as the landlord. 

This is an impressive response.

i loved their videos and i did contact them, but am worried as some have suggested that they pawn you off to juniors and that their response is very slow.

Quote from @Kandice Morgenstern: Does anyone have a good lease clause to outline responsibilities and expectations during mandatory evacuations?

Keep in mind that many responsible agents tend to be conservative with their valuations, especially in today’s market, where properties aren’t moving as quickly as they once did.If we’re in a conservative market, pricing on the lower end may make sense, but it’s always good to weigh your options carefully.

This is why people are getting pissed with cold callers and your seeing very poor response/appointment/sales rates with PS data.This is what Joel Bongco has stated alsoIts absolutely true and I can go further and quantify exactly how bad the data is using my own study comparing PS to county records.I compared PS preforeclosure leads to county records across 167 counties in Texas (67), Florida (50) and California (45) by running searches for both PS ad the County recorders datbase for the period 08/01/2024 - -09/30/2024 and found thatFor TX which i measure preforeclosure leads as all lis pendens, appoinment of substititute trustee (Not a NoD but used for a similar indication) and notice of trustee filings.

I tried to skim most of the replies so I wouldn’t repeat what’s already been said but here’s my response to OP about real estate and retirement. 

However if I was an agent, broker, GC, etc I do not feel that it would be my responsibility to verify the underwriting.
