@Robert Spiegel Great question, and it’s always a balancing act when dealing with long-term tenants who’ve been fantastic overall.Based on my experience managing over 1,200 rental homes in North Texas, including areas like Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, and Frisco, here’s how I would approach this:Cleaning Charge: While $540 may feel steep, it can vary depending on the size of the property and local market rates.

You're in charge of this hands-on approach.

I’ve worked with investors who faced similar permit issues, and what worked for them was approaching the local municipality with transparency.

I’m a full-time sales professional at a global GSI, so I’m seeking relatively efficient strategies.Has anyone successfully used cash-out refinances, 1031 exchanges, or other equity-based approaches to boost income?

We approach each eviction the same way and have our playbook every time a resident gets behind on rent. 

It’s best to have a multi-channelled approach (sms, email, ringless voicemails, and AI voice calling).

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

I'm just beginning my learning journey and want to make sure I approach things with the right perspective.

The streamlined approach minimized holding costs and maximized efficiency, proving the power of our strategy in identifying and executing quick-turn deals.

I want to approach sellers with either a seller carry arrangement - or become the equity partner in a Joint Venture.
