I think referring to Account Closed's method of communication with her tenant as "texting buddies" is rude, condescending and out of touch.If that is the normal method of communication with this tenant, in my state it is legal, proper, and efficient to communicate notices by text and in my view there is nothing "unprofessional" about texting per se; communication by any method might be 'professional' or 'unprofessional' based on the content.

We personally manage all of our properties except the STR and even with a FT Property Management company we still put more mindshare and effort there.

The one side of the house w 3 bedrooms is already ADA compliant with wide hall and doors to include community ada bath.In the next year or so, I'd like to rent out to assisted living company or the like.Any advice is greatly appreciate and anyone interested, pls let me know.Thx!

I declined and suggested they move forward with the bid they felt most comfortable with at their own expense but they then seemed to threaten legal action in a veiled manner citing their understanding of Minnesota state law which they feel puts the duty for pest removal on the landlord.

Can I be held legally responsible for paying this guy? 

It's basically the same thing as what these other company's charge. 

Hi Margarita-Great question.There are many mental blocks and friction points to buying your first property.First off, just buying property outside of a first or second home to use is not done by most people and buying your first home is a major purchase for most people.That means the people in our immediate sphere of influence are not thinking about buying investment property, they see it as risky and out of a sense of protecting you or themselves encourage you not to do it.I remember having the same mental blocks and fears you probably do thinking about buying your first property or first investment property.The most critical thing to overcoming these mental blocks is self education and surrounding yourself with the best team of people to help you.An investor friendly Realtor who can refer you to an investor friendly lender, title company or closing office, property inspector, property manager, and insurance agent.Real estate is relational and having the best team will keep you out of the weeds.To Your Success!

I've been doing some research and came across a company called WholesaleShelfCorporations.com that specializes in providing aged entities.Before making a decision, I would like to hear from those who have actual experience with it.

@Sylvester Hardison Contact a couple independent insurance companies in the town the property is located in and get quotes.

Only thing I would add is that there are certainly investor friendly T/E companies that have worked with wholesalers before and I would look to use them if it were my first transaction as they can be really helpful in walking you through it once you actually have a deal in place.
