Then at some point I would change my attitude, and do all the things that a landlord or a manager should do, and become the jerk.I would keep the relationship with tenants as formal as possibile, covid is the best excuse for all of us when we don't want to hang out with someone, and when a tenant is on the phone, if he/she starts talking about his/her personal life, always cut the conversation short, telling them that you would love to talk to them but you're about to go out on a meeting.

And you shouldn't care at all2. always put yourself out of the contest, using "we" or "the other owners" etc. or quoting policies that you use to treat every tenant the same way. 3. keep the relationship with any tenant as formal as possible, it is a business matter.

You must have properties in their own LLCs and you must scrupulously maintain the corporate formality between the LLCs.Insurance is very important to have, but it won't fully protect you.  

I’d send him a formal notice too to cover your butt .

I would even go to the police dept and formally trespass him from the property, and send him a certified letter indicating this.

Kenneth, understand this was an Auction.com deal, "under contract" does not mean the same thing, when you are winning bidder you dont have a due diligence period, its yours, you bought it. this homework needs to be done upfront, in general a quick call to the inspectors office will reveal what you want to know. in most places a formal request is not needed, unless in a big metro. 

If the pets disappear you can always raise the rent formally up to 450 in a few months time / post lease to cover the difference. 

Two things are lacking compared to when I use rentecdirect.com (charges $29.45 directly to me)- there is no formal notification that they haven't been evicted, or had someone file on them for eviction. 

The report could just be a quick phone call, it could be a shared folder with photo/video walk-through, or it could be a more formal report provided by property inspection like zInspector.Don't have a property manager?

Either way, I would like a more formal estimate from CSC's Accounting Department based on last year's revenue for each property and a total annual cost compared to our revenue.Third, I would like a breakdown of the extra costs CSC alleges they are incurring that require this fee, specific to each of (Company's) communities.
