Tenant C also has 3 children.Around April 15th Tenant C (who I had no contact info for previously) texted me saying she’s been working diligently to get a place to live and she wanted to be upfront that she might need more time.I told her to let me know what the update is after going back and forth looking to be helpful with different resources to check out for finding and apartment.April 29th I text the Tenants since I have not heard anything further about them need more time so I assume they will be moving out before May 1 and told them where to leave the keys etc.Tenants B and C both promptly answered back (I have no contact info for Tenant A) saying they needed more time.Tenant C said she was still working on the same place however she needed more time and that it was a promising lead.

If your landlord is likely just notifying you so that you will get the rent paid promptly.

I’m kind of a stickler on making sure everything functions properly and repairs are made promptly.

The house is in good repair (this is my first rental property) and I take care of issues promptly like the washer that broke, I bought a new one, I changed the toilet when it stopped working, I paid a roofer to put a new roof on, I paid a mason to repair the front entrance stairs.

I bet that if you text or call a few of the agents you know (or if you contact a few in our investor-friendly agent directory here) that they will get back to you promptly and you will be glad you worked with an agent rather than trying to close a property on your own. 

@John and @Bill - thank you so much for your prompt responses.

If the current owners didn’t act promptly to remediate the water damage, the home will likely develop mold.Given that this issue was not disclosed and happened prior to closing, I would not put pen to paper.I would not want to live in a sick home, or one that likely will bury you in repairs costs.What other surprises awaits.

Currently the property is non-conforming to code, so a change in ownership would prompt this inspection and cause a problem for the buyer, even if it was a cash sale - am I thinking about that correctly?

    ( work orders ) for property management companies.They go with their contractors, vendors, because they do good work, work well with tenants, andare fairly prompt to do the work in a timely matter that pleases the tenant.I believe it is in the contract that these services come with companies delivery of service to you.If they mark it up it should be stated in your contract.If they up the price and do not state that in the contract then they are taking you for that extra amount your paying.And yes it does take 20-40 minuets to go to the store and buy the door to install. 

, at REI meetings, or by popping by active renovation projects and dropping off some literature.For me I'm looking for prompt and clear communication with both me and the client, flexible scheduling, and of course price and quality of the work.Good luck!
