Every municipality has different zoning processes.

@Justin Brickman A bad PM can increase liability - but a good one shields their owners by:  Avoiding any fair housing issues during the leasing process (happens more often to good meaning people than you'd think), ensuring only licensed/vetted contractors enter the property, checking work done by vendors and ensuring safety, inspecting units, the list goes on...Yes, out of state investors can pull rates, but you know that two blocks over in converse or on the westside could mean your comps aren't comps. 

Where are you in your process?  

If you're the type that needs a structured learning process, it may be the way to go. 

(warning long story) I’m a first time home buyer using VA loan  and I am currently under contract with a home and in the middle of the due diligence process and need help.Me and my agent yesterday were going to meet up with an inspector to look at the home I had under contract and when we go there we noticed the power was turned off so we had to reschedule and call the seller to turn the power back on.

Incorporating your GM and PM in this process might make things much simpler.

Not sure about initial install cost but they’re both $750/year or so ongoing cost.

Why do I see some independent mortgage loan officers submit borrower's application directly to lender without going thru their employer/broker's loan processing?

It will take 1.5-2 years to recover the actual cost but less once I consider tax deductions and that will be an ongoing process I believe as I think the physical mechanical heaters will be deducted over the course of some years while the labor will be deducted in 2023 & 2024.

By establishing a clear understanding of the delegated authority, both the property owner and the property manager can effectively navigate the leasing process while upholding legal obligations and responsibilities.Power of Attorney:One way a property owner can authorize someone else to sign leases on their behalf is through a power of attorney (POA).
