They might be fine managing new construction, but I have seem MANY investors almost tank from their fee schedule on managing older homes...i would compare it to almost predatory practice.

In a tenant friendly state you have to.BTW, when you list, there's a fair housing law. you cannot deny a sec 8 if they qualify. your standards need to be the same for everyone

So they need to meet your standards, right? 

(I'm non confrontational)The plot has a native American burial site, which we spoke to a tribe member and gladly let them onsite for rituals and practice. 

While true as a practical matter, it's not because there are no such contractors.

And all of this happens during the contract period reducing purchasing risk.Great strategy especially when practiced just on the outskirts of a major metro area in a country setting(a weekend getaway property that can be marketed to city folk).  

So act quickly, do as the others are saying and screen him according to your standard criteria. credit, references, eviction history, etc.

You need to up your standards or life as a Landlord will be very difficult.One violation and I would evict.

If you can't perform to the new standard were setting, I strongly suggest stepping back and hiring one of us who are setting this new standard. 

While it's more expensive than Ohio, it's still cheaper compared to California.Additionally, consider the practicality of traveling to your investment market.
