You need to communicate with the tenant and be patient. 

I was over trusting of what my GC was telling me, and he was stating that he was in constant communication with code enforcement.

Even if he does, that's between the owner and the agent.I'd say go forth and communicate with the property owner. and I still think the agent could use a heads up that he dropped the ball if he wants to work with you in the future.

She is very nice and has had good communication however, she has been late on the rent several times.

Your position may be very strong since 1) you were never offered a pre-move out inspection, 2) you did not receive an itemized statement and 3) you did not receive your full security deposit.That said, I strongly suggest trying to communicate to your landlord and try to reach a mutually agreeable outcome first.

Begin speaking to realtors now and communicate your plan.So a couple of things to time:Find a lease agentGet your place rent readyFind a home and time your target close with your lenderGet your condo on the market for leaseGetting your place rent ready

I also love that tenants can communicate with me through the program to submit work orders.

Immediately following my graduation ceremony, I sold all of my worldly possessions, threw my laptop and some warm clothes into a NorthFace and decided I was going to try to make it on my own and live in Europe.During my travels I looked into; drop shopping, affiliate marketing, and starting my own YouTube channel, and came to the conclusion that I really wanted to do work that involves face-to-face interaction with people.

It’s not a difficult step at all just requires communication.

If you are handling less than 5 properties or so, handling the front end (guest communication, marketing) on slick airbnb or clunky VRBO is easy.
