We got units lead certified (which are more valuable due to being able to rent to section 8) at close and the lender was able to sign off on the environmental issues. 

I mailed them a security deposit statement using certified mail after 7 days of their move out.

Also, some policies have some variability in the rate ie there’s a floor that’s guaranteed but some portion is a function of marketplace and with low rates that return may be dropping.

., certify mail to last known address, meeting the specificity requirement on the notice of claim, mailing within the timeframe provided by statute. 

Also, any tips on how to expedite the process would be much appreciated (i.e. getting signatures for notification from neighbors in person vs. sending certified mail, etc)Thanks in advance!

You can post on Facebook Marketplace as well.

I'm willing to learn and potentially become certified by whatever means necessary to begin this journey.

I look forward to continuing to learn from the BiggerPockets community as I navigate my real estate investing journey.I’ve had some success on the eastern shore of Maryland, though even that market has started to frankly become expensive, there are still pockets of potential growth both rent & appreciation, thoigh it’s becoming harder to find, also there is a massive rental shortage out there, a county I just put a property contract on, literally has 3 properties for rent right now, but it does make rental comps quite difficult, outside of that I’ve started looking a little more into western Md and some southern pa markets but still trying to get a feel for them, overall I think in this market places that are affordableish and have some draw will do well with the continued wfh + affordability crisis but keep in mind while I think the eastern shore is actually fairly safe market for the most part a lot of rural areas definitely have boom bust potential and in theory more risk than dc metro, though the low price points do by definition tend to mitigate some of those risks. 

Document EVERYTHING... every conversation, every contact, every document from the remediation company etc etc etc.Then I would send him a certified letter that states all necessary precautions, accommodations and solutions were done.

Delta makes a couple of low-flow (WaterSense certified models), but you need to check the model number as they also sell 2-2.5gpm models that look pretty much the same.
