The pest problem is most likely due to the tenant keeping their dwelling in an unclean condition.

Fellow BP member and podcaster @Jonathan Makovsky just completed a deal with us and we shot this video about the experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?

I made a video on how I find good markets and properties in the U.S. for you.

Tenants are typically blue collar and many of them are recently employed by the recent boom in logistics and warehousing that is going on in the area (link below to a video I saw on Twitter that actually calls out Eastern PA warehousing as a desirable investment).There’s definitely a decent amount of investment going on and I’ve seen prices jump even in the past few years so competition is growing as people catch on.https://youtu.be/Yvi4MPHcwj0

I've been relentlessly researching all things real estate over the past couple years - reading countless books, watching hundreds of hours of YouTube videos, listening to thousands of hours of podcasts, etc.

Ive been reading a lot recently and watching videos.

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

You don't know the law, you don't know how to handle difficult tenants, and you aren't local to work on it.This is what Ohio law says: “The tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent for the landlord to enter into the dwelling unit in order to inspect the premises, make ordinary, necessary, or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements, deliver parcels that are too large for the tenant’s mail facilities, supply necessary or agreed services, or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workmen, or contractors.”I would give the tenant a short, direct warning that they have 72 hours to coordinate with the vendor and set a schedule for repairs.

That to me is a huge red flag, but investors will still invest because they like their youtube videos. 

That is their dwelling place and if something goes wrong with the smart lock, then they are locked out of the house.
