As in tips on contractual agreements, and other exit strategies for me, just in case the investment fails.

1st they should not have run a special on your property without you knowing, but they did get it filled, which is better than it being vacant - as long as the tenant pays. 2nd,PM's know your numbers more than you may, that's their business, don't kid yourself when you think they don't know your taxes and what you may be paying for mortgage, they know what you got the house for and can make a good educated guess on that and the insurance you probably pay, my PM is pretty close to knowing my exact numbers and i pay all taxes, mortgage and insurance. you do have to keep an eye on what there doing and the monthly statements, that is your property and money and it is not wrong to question them, but you also need to feel you can trust them in matters as well. sounds like you had one bad tenant after a good one, it happens, i am assuming this is your only property?

If you have kids, you know.

I can't post the contact info here because of the Forum rules but you can private message me if you want the info or simple do a google searchThe comps with flood insurance is something I hadn't thought of, great tip!

I plan to call them up tomorrow (Monday) and see if they can come out to provide a free estimate ASAP.Also, I plan to ask the seller to provide us with any documentation from any previous roof maintenance and ask if she has any warranties for the roof already in place.Any other ideas/tips?

Thanks for the tip Engolo!

I'm just kidding; I am serious about finding an investor friendly agent.

Any suggestions/tips for trying to rent out a unit during the winter season?

I guess I am very novice and am still toying with the idea.
