Is anyone here a PCS client that could give their experience?

By sending a check, in many states, if the tenant cashes the check they are de facto agreeing with your damage assessment and will have little ground to dispute your accounting.  

In state of OH can a real estate agent be a property manager too?

For instance, one property seems to have an extra bathroom that is not listed in the county records.I plan to make some modifications, including removing a closet wall to expand a bathroom and taking out a kitchen island that contains electrical outlets and a switch.

This is a terrible way to price a property.

@Gary L DeSotoThe fact that you are a real estate investor does not matter. 

My current focus - what is the process once a family member/individual has passed and lets just say in a perfect world probate has been filed and the respective family is now thinking about selling the property.

It could be a property on a double lot, a property that get's dismissed because it is full of clutter, a listing that has the square footage wrong etc - and a deal can be made (not found)I’m not a wholesaler per se, but I have done a lot of marketing, at least in the past, due to endeavoring find deals. 

btw the above is not to be confused w/ a BOT.

Now it used to be if you got a job with the government and could count on a fat pension then life could be good and with a few rentals excellent.
