At the most, have an attorney send the contractor a demand letter instructing him to finish the project as per the contract.

The attorney directs the Property Manager to follow my instructions for activities involving the property.4.

Leave instructions to text a no reply phone number that you assign to your cleaners.

There are 3 key metrics we’ll dive into in this episode and I’ll review what they are and how they can be highlighted to downplay weak returns.
1: Cash On Cash
I wanted to start with cash on cash because it’s likey...

Realistically the best you can hope for is a mediocre manager who is reliable , honest and able to follow instructions and has some people skills.  

Still; it's interesting what you might find in the walls; we've found 2 old fireplaces hidden in one house and crawling under the house found the remnants of a floor furnace (previous owners just covered the floors but did not remove this item).

I instructed him to leave the keys on the counter after he had finished moving and to call me so we could arrange another meeting.

They also can't be responsible for anything hidden in a wall or buried in the ground since there is no way to visually inspect those areas.To sue and be successful, you would have to prove that the inspector should have known about the defect or deviated from the professional standard of care in the course of the inspection.Inspectors carry insurance for these issues, but if you read the standard contract, the most you would expect to recover would the fee you paid for the inspection.

We were planning on charging per hour for our own labor- I state that in the move-out instructions but will also add it to our lease for the future.

As a tenant, I had an unreasonable landlord give me "move out instructions" when I gave my 30 day notice.
