Aloha,Before you request new proposals from a variety of vendors, you need to determine what, exactly, are your requirements.You should have an accurate total yard size, not "probably about"; how many linear feet of concrete edging; are there shrubs, hedges, or trees to maintain and/or trim around, and estimated sizes; other obstacles to work around or be cautious of; is loose trash, or excessive fruit dropping, an issue that needs to be addressed prior to mowing; minimum/maximum grass height expectations (address areas where scalping might be a problem, and how "rain days" are handled in terms of scheduling and charges); what type of schedule do you actually need; are you ok/is property suitable for using string trimmers for all areas, or must they use a push/ standard mower; bag and remove the waste, or blow it to specific area (that will not upset your neighbor); do you require periodic weed killer/fertilizer, and spot weed killer; is there/do you need an irrigation system to properly maintain some/all of the yard area (if so, the system should be checked periodically for proper operation and settings, and at every visit after mowing/trimming complete all heads should be checked to ensure none are broken); and most importantly, be sure your vendor has appropriate insurance to protect YOU in case of injury to your tenants, their vehicles, your property, or the workers, caused by their operation of rotating equipment or other job related efforts.

All of these are variable analytics that can affect the proposed value of a transaction. 

My property manager recently proposed a partnership between he and I on my current rent house.

@Brieer DoggettIt all depends on your confidence in the proposed investment and your tolerance level with risk.

@Lorranne JimenezSince you are also interested in fix and flips, I propose the following action plan.

Please propose some equitable arrangements.

If these are the roles you need filled, then write up a proposal and a list of "wants".

The majority of the proposed legislation targets 5 units and above, although mom & pop landlords will be affected by some as well.It could get a bit more difficult to be a landlord in ConnecticutSome of the highlights:Requires landlords to give tenants pre-occupancy walkthroughs using a State Generated form to reduce security deposit disputes.Limits on application fees and allows prospective tenants to submit their own screening reports.

I was thinking to propose that we lock into a purchase option price for when the the PPP goes away, and in the meantime I send him rental payments each month equal to the mortgage (maybe a drop more). 

It appears you are proposing to wrap her existing loan with a new loan at a higher interest rate.
