After you've got a lot of time invested in them, they will ask to communicate off platform, and say they're having their employer send you a check. 

Almost all of my communication with my tenants is via text, and they still will lie, lol.I just had a tenant last week- after I repaired her stairs- claim they told me repeatedly about their deck stairs needing fixed last year and 'nothing was ever done about it'.  

Communication and cooperation is what its about.

You will find tenants MANY times are not the most communicative or helpful sort.

Keep this in mind when structuring your deals to communicate to the seller how much cash they can expect in their pocket at closing. 

And of course they are paid to go pick up materials, or that is factored into their bid.It all comes down to communication between you and your contractor/handyman.As an investor buddy of mine says, I don't let anyone else spend my money.

You followed the lease and the law, and you've treated the tenant fairly.Give them the final statement and shut off all communication.

This creates a record of your communication, which could be important if legal issues arise later.Liability Considerations: You’re correct in thinking that getting the LLC to pay for roof repairs could be difficult, especially if they own no assets or claim no liability for the tree falling.

Communication is HUGE. - Being straightforward and honest is extremely helpful when managing tenants.
