Hi everyone, I recently moved from NYC to Cincinnati and had spent the last 9 years in the same apartment in the East Village which is managed by Jakobson Property Management.

Contacting the tenant can open pandoras box and diminish the capability of the PM to do their job.

If you have a secured 24/7 drop box somewhere that will eliminate the "lost in the mail" excuse.

Drop it in a blue mail box. 

I spent some time in the county property tax info site yesterday researching a neighborhood where we closed our last deal. 

The neighbors mentioned they were occasionally spraying the outside steps as the bugs were just spilling out.I'm the kind of newbie investor that gets really excited about the potential for a property - I literally spent hours at a time in my first rental planning out the rehab and envisioning what I was going to do to the property to make it look great - exposing brick, reconfiguring upstairs layout, enhancing outdoor space, etc.

I estimate that we've spent a few thousand in medical bills as a result.When we asked Fujitsu about the mold issue, the said that we should hire a contractor to come clean the units regularly.

If they fail, your money will have been well spent for the information they share.

I would love to learn otherwise from any posters in the lending industry, but I've spent quite some time on this and haven't gotten around it.
