Hi Adam,If you hold a license and have been through the purchase process before with other agents, I personally would be open to doing it myself (I am also an agent and have done this very thing).

She can get you with one of their realtors in the area and get your journey started.

The common area language should dictate that personal items are not stored in common areas, it may also address maintenance of those areas, but you will need to amend it to address outdoor furniture and grills. 

My main concern, being my first rent increase, is the attitude/personality needed for such a task.

Have you seen the completed home in person? 

It's much if you can see the property in person. 

It’s been an exhilarating journey, and one aspect I’ve found particularly fascinating is the critical role of property management in optimizing investment returns.

Our focus is partnering with investors, and that's what we're personally doing in Waco. 

There may be a paywall here, if so, contact me and I will send you a PDF copy of the article.https://www.wsj.com/personal-finance/real-estate-landlord-in...

I don’t like large banks because they are less personal and personnel changes.
