They did not communicate the scope well to the plumber, who it sounds like should not have been involved in the first place I would have a point-blank conversation about the above with your manager and ask who he or she thinks should cover the waste of paying multiple professionals to shuffle a thin plastic piece underneath an appliance the tenant was responsible for installing in the first place.

That would be nice, but I suspect that I will somehow be involved in it...?

@Abigail KingStarting a first house hack in Peoria, IL involves researching, education, financing options, and management tips.

If you don't have VAs or don't have other owners involved, it might be all you need. 

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

It would involve putting an external staircase on the side of the house and making the second bathroom into a full bath.

What did your management contract state about screening prospective tenants and your involvement? 

It is actually a little more involved than that sounded but you should get the point.

The full circle of this would be paying vendors, employees, taxes, accepting payment all in crypto/facebook/bitcoin/form perhaps and without an actual bank involved. 

My question is since a lender is involved and I will be drafting up a contract how do I protect myself as to once I hand off the home he doesn't end up pushing me out (there is no sign of such and there is trust but this business)?
