Should I hire a landlord rep to act on my behalf?

Yes, having an extender, hiring a technician to install the ethernet wire, and moving the router is my last resort here if other options are more expensive.  

Pay the bill and bill the tenant, it is a violation of a standard NC lease for the tenant to hire a contractor to perform a service to the premises without your knowledge or permission.

Even those who hire a cleaning person are not going to pay twice as much for a new COVID protocol.I am not sure I would compare it to the Soviet Union.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.totally agree.. and or if this inheritance just happened and you got a stepped up basis.. sell it all move to cash.. hire a FEE based top notch money manager.. enjoy your vacation properties..  

Maybe you think you’ll hire a property manager...

I have a bunch of resources on best practices for finding/hiring great contractors...I'm happy to share these with you if you want to DM me.
