Basically what Brandon suggested in his post from about three weeks ago.Our plan, at the time we implemented and communicated it, seemed to be predominately what other landlords and property management companies were doing. 

You need to communicate that to BOTH of them.

A lot learned about using eviction aggressively when needed.The facts:Tenant wanted to leave, gives me '30 day' notice, then says they are leaving in 4 days, then moves out.Tenant wanted security deposit before they move out.Tenant has been model up to this point, communicating, handling turnover, cleaning, pays on time, etc.Police were called prior to my arrival by other tenant and they were told to put my property back.I show up on property unannounced and some of my property tenant knows is mine is still moved next to the door with their moving boxes.Tenant says to my face they were going to take my stuff in case I didn't give them their deposit back?!

You need to get this deferment in writing, it sounds like everything is just communicated via email?

Also, start a line of communication with your lender(s) now, if you have not already, regarding refinancing.I know we already got a little chat going, but I'd be happy to discuss these topics too with you if you'd like.  

That helps build trust.Find alternative ways to communicate.

You can get an efficient professional, but it will cost you. 

The biggest issue for dealing with OOS investing is the technology; make sure you research your boots-on-the-ground company to ensure they have paired with the right technology that will allow for easy communication and quick access to updates on your project, especially if you plan on not being on-site regularly.Make sure the "connections" you make with other GC's or REI professionals, that they are licensed and insured and can provide references for their work.Join local groups on other social media platforms and start discovering the midwest market virtually by hearing what others are saying/recommending and what areas people are investing in and with what REI strategy.Indianapolis is a great market to get into right now because you absolutely can stretch east/west coast dollars further.

Shout out to Rob for great communication, providing invaluable knowledge, and having a well-credentialed list of vendors and connections that enabled me to gather the other members of my team.

The first is operational risk, the risk associated with operating the property efficiently, keeping costs in line, vacancy low and income high, management, etc.
