PMs are not created equal and can pass/fail an initial sniff test by reviewing their website/social media platforms and the initial contact.Best of luck in your search for a new PM.

We have several pictures demonstrating that the condition of the foliage is clearly encroaching the unit and is clear negligence on the tenant to maintain the landscaping which resulted in the unit overheating.Lease states that the tenant is responsible maintaining the yard.

Normal comps for move in ready of this size and location are $70-$75/sq ft and rehabs are $30-$45/ sq ft depending on condition.

Looking for some good reading material on Social Media Marketing?

In terms of when to start advertising on social media and beyond, it's critical to learn the legal aspect of syndications well first prior to any advertising. 

Also keep in mind that if you buy a rental you will want to keep some cash reserves on hand to handle maintenance/cap ex - of course that depends on the condition of the property you buy, or the level of rehab you do if you fix one up. 

As far as 'crazy renters', I've actually read that the social media STR market (AirBnB and VRBO), where you get reviewed, produces better renters with less damage overall. 

The home is in good condition and we have had a lot of showings. 

If you wanted to do "events", you'll need a conditional use permit to stay legal. side note, the 70s to 90s are the worst eras for construction.

ZERO incentive to return the place in decent condition and/or rent for the last month etc......BIG NO NO........The concern for damages with a move is no different than moving any other item..... that concern makes no sense...... agree to let them do it but the deposit issue needs to be dealth with and the refrig stays at the unit in the garage and any damages to it will still be on the tenant..get the deposit issue taken care of ASAP....
