this is not a ploy it is happening all over the united states, it's just a little harder to do here in north carolina because it's an attorney state.

Their fees should get assessed back to the unit.If the CCR/Bylaws permit you to fine the unit owners I would send a letter stating, the board has voted to assess a $25 penalty per day beginning April 23, 2023 and continuing every day until proof of insurance is received.

I live out of state.  

Hey I'm looking for different markets to invest in out side of NY, what surrounding states/cities tend to be more landlord friendly?

Hi - I published an article here on BiggerPockets on this exact topic - sharing link below, hope it helps!

@Vladimir OsipovNow is a good time to buy, are you looking to build in your area or go out of state? 

Many out-of-state investors look at Ohio to grow and build their portfolios.It's a growing, landlord-friendly market, and certain cities/pockets provide strong cash flow.https://spectrumnews1.com/oh/columbus/news/2024/01/08/cleveland-columbus-cincinnati-top-10-hottest-markets-https://www.cleveland.com/news/2023/12/ohio-town-ranked-no-1...https://www.fox19.com/2024/02/13/cincinnati-ranked-no-2-by-z...

Hello everyone,I have reviewed a CAR property management contract with a company and they have 5% written in the line that states “ an overhead and service fee added to the cost of all work performed by, or at the direction of,  property manager”.

The reason I am looking at new builds is because I never done out of state invest, hopefully new builds give me less stress...:) With all that being said above, does that sound do-able?

For you, choosing will be based on different things such as how steady the area is where your property is, your plans for investing over a long time and the state of your money matters.
