@Franck Armand, I'm not sure who informed you, but those respective markets are all well past the gentrification phase.

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

@Jayden SpurlockIn future post the link vs all the photos so people can have the entire document to make their own decision

Honestly, not what you want to hear, but take photos of the damage, send them an itemized invoice and tell them what they owe you.

The contractors will take photo evidence of what issues exist and where they need to update/complete.2.

Do you have more photos you can share @Aaron Lynn Brown ?

I know that it is generally good advice and I would learn a lot by doing it, but I am firm with my desire to be a passive investor with respect to managing tenants.

It would also force the individuals utilizing agents to get their sh*t together and be respectful of their time and skills.

Appears this may be a C/D property problem disguised as a TP issue.The point of my raising the fact that I replace anything that is broken is to suggest that I’m not a slumlord…I do take pride in what I do and I respect and try to keep up with any repairs in a timely manner.

This couldn't be more of a true statement with the current clients I'm dealing with.. on one spectrum, I have clients that are incredibly respectful take my recommendations and listen and on the other I have people who are just plain rude and are a pain to work with.
