If you have any idea, please let me know.thanks It sounds like you are in a difficult situation with your tenant.Regarding the issue with the shower, if multiple plumbers have inspected it and confirmed that it is okay to use, then it may not be necessary to spend the $4000 to repair it.

I work with a lot of landlord clients to help them resolve disputes with holdover tenants who are often not paying and causing issues with other tenants in the properties too...Reach out to me direct at the number in the signature below or simply DM me thanks. 

Far as pulling permits and what not.

If using a lender this is a non issue.

Looking forward to connecting with you. best strategy I've come up with after 10 years of experience in columbus is to build new construction multifamily with equity. 50k land purchase, 10k soft cost / rezoning / permitting, 300k hard cost, refinance and is worth 500k. build - Rent - refinance - repeat. if you want to buy old properties I would but no agent is going to stay on with you and you only get some diluted version of what they call a contractor who probably isn't licensed.

If needed, consider mediation to solve the issue.

The main issue here is the insurance problem

Ask them when they issue distributions (anything before the 15th of the month is a red flag), do they require reserves, how is maintenance charged, do you see copies of outside contractor bills, do they upcharge materials (PM's have LAR accounts with Lowes and often get 20% off), do they keep all late fees or just the management fee, what other fees do they charge (renewals, inspections, etc), where are tenant security deposits held, how are evictions handled and are you consulted before filing, what screenings do they run, what qualifications do they require from tenants, ask for a couple other owners to visit with for a reference.
