Once the interior was stripped and the infrastructure tested, I brought in commercial contractors to handle critical systems like plumbing, electrical, roofing, and HVAC installation.The house, built in the early 1900s, was originally a coal-burning residence.

@Richard Anderson: You've piqued my interest.Do you happen to know if there are guidelines in the banking industry as to how to handle the Due on Sale Clause when a seller sells on Executory contract to another individual?

It has to do with the professional way you've handled yourself, the good communication with our team and the fact that you are closing your first house with us.  

I still handle all the leasing aspects myself.

Our STRs have a PM who handles the STR tenants. 

Then you need to find a trustworthy charity to handle this matter.

The tenant was in the building when I bought it (I've owned the building for 2 months) and he claims to have an insurance policy covering them.My insurance company is saying they'll drop my policy on the building if the pitbulls are there even with the tenant's insurance policy.The dogs are very sweet but the tenant lets them run free and they often go into the neighboring property, resulting in 4 malicious animal violations from animal control in the past year.Any thoughts on how I should handle?  

We along with our clients use conversational AI for follow up as well as handling leads after hours and on weekends.

We plan to remove them all to protect from tax increases on our current primary, but I am afraid that now that the other properties won't have homesteads, we may see skyrocketing tax bills and it will eat into already small cash flow from rental income.Does anyone have advice for how to handle this situation other than just increasing rent?

No need for a PMS with only one.AirBNB and VRBO can handle things for you.In the end you won't save much time with only one STR.Plus, personal correspondence really works well to boost those 5 star ratings.
