In my experience, we always have it delivered via Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested.

When Tenant needs to make a manual deposit, have them deliver it straight to the bank.

For our condos, we deliver them pest-free and let the tenants know it's their responsibility to keep them clean.The bottom line is that an infestation is something that you don't want to let get out of control, so ultimately the landlord is responsible for the property.

Not sure about enforceability when no EM is delivered.  

But my guess is when someone fails to deliver on selling a home like this, you're going to be entitled to getting all your expenses back at the very least - along with any attorney fees to do it.But I would first contact the one heir and ask them for the money.

Costs will vary depending on how easy it is for your supplier to deliver to you.

Here are some tips on how to select an investor-friendly general contractor:Look for experience: Choose a contractor who has experience working on investment properties and understands the unique needs of investors, such as tight deadlines and budget constraints.Check references: Ask for references from previous clients and follow up with them to ensure that the contractor is reliable and delivers quality work.Review their portfolio: Review the contractor's portfolio to see if they have worked on projects similar to yours and if their work aligns with your vision.Assess communication skills: Choose a contractor who communicates clearly and promptly to keep you informed and address any concerns or changes in plans.Evaluate pricing: While pricing is important, don't choose a contractor based solely on the lowest bid.

Hello @Stacey Michaels,Some background: Over the last 15+ years, our investment team has successfully delivered over 480 investment properties to more than 180 clients worldwide.

Personally, I'd work with the person who is a bit more expensive, but disclosed them all up front than to work with the cheaper person who is over-promising and under delivering. 

The Chinese restaurants delivers to my apartments now, LOL.How did this happen?
