What property managers do can be a lengthy list, but from a 30,000 foot view they oversee the properties and the tenants and handle the day-to-day maintenance requests, resolve tenant issues/disputes, collect rent, enforce late fees, help you through eviction process, market the property, etc. 

And I see a lot investors posting about their concern for rent collections in May.I'm curious about everyone's thoughts here.Yes, things are bad right now.

If I pay 20 % down payment on an investment property can i live somewhere else and still collect money monthly?

Factor a little extra vacancy and collection lost.

My plan is to collect one month's rent as a damage deposit.

If you collect an additional month rent, that can only be used for rent. 

I am curious to see what folks are doing to collect rent during this pandemic. 

The less showings you get for your property, the less rental applications you'll collect and the longer the property will sit. 

I won a judgement against the first set of contractors but that’s only the first battle, the second battle is collecting on that judgement.

After you get a judgement, then you can send them to collections.
