Hey Chris,There are many lenders out there that handle these states.

You have to check the office that handles the redemption for the area you are investing. 

How do they handle maintenance?

They Handle Rehab/Maintenance/RepairsMany mom and pop investors prefer doing the work themselves.

We are over a month past our moveout date (I looked into GA law and it states the landlord has one month to return the check) and we have not received any sort of response or a check.At the end of the day, he still owes us over $1,300 regardless of how he handles our dispute to the charges.

I’m still inspecting the house and assessing the total losses.Given all these, how do I handle the security deposit?

It also helps to have someone local that knows people that can handle the cleaning and maintenance/repairs.

I can't remember what size the panels are in my duplexes but I doubt they can handle that additional load. 

My husband and I have defined roles so I don’t handle our rentals but I can give you an overview of our process.
