I would also suggest annual property inspections.

I researched and found that using “Tammy Smith Trustee for Smith 401k” as a suggestion.

Don't forget to compare prices and read reviews to ensure you're getting the best deal and quality.

On a whim, I recently reviewed a monthly mortgage statement and saw I'm paying $150 in PMI.

Hi Jenifer,  I'd suggest getting a contractor to take a look around.

A lot of posts accumulated in this thread suggesting landlords should provide excellent "service" for their "customer," should issue rent credits for broken appliances and be worried about their "reputation." 

I know it’s a lot of them out there so any suggestions would help please.  

This is a nightmare situation and I was wondering if anyone had tips/advice/suggestions on what to do.

So I'm under renovations for my first property and I used a conventional purchase and renovation loan, not knowing how tedious the draw process would be for me and my GC, but saw it as the most convenient way to fund the renovations.Doing our best to communicate with each other to ensure a smooth draw (fill out work completed form, get inspector out, review from both HUD Consultant and lender, send for signatures, 3-5 days of processing).

We as a firm have investors working with us who have rental properties all over the US big and small.Finding a real estate-focused tax professional and one who can help with advisory and grow with you would be my suggestion to focus your efforts on finding.
