My intent is to send more letters/postcards as well as follow-up with all potential deals (something I was lazy about doing previously).

Low income renters can have a hard time finding and tying up 2x deposit.If they go into the last month with the intention of not paying, you should post & file for UD without delay.

My manager has recently quit due to a terminal illness and I find myself managing my park from 650 miles away.

. - My original intention with my own house was to make payments into an account, it didn't really happen tbh.

No need to put a foot down, interpret a residents tone or intention, or get any emotions involved. 

“Drug-related illegal activity” means the illegal manufacture, sale, distribution, purchase, USE, or possession with intent to manufacture, sell distribute, or USE of a controlled substance (as defined in Section 102 or the Controlled Substance Act (21 U.S.C. 8002) or possession of drug paraphernalia.2.Resident, any member of the resident’s household or guest or other person under the resident’s control shall not engage in any act intended to facilitate illegal activity, including drug-related illegal activity, on or near the said premises.3.Resident or members of the household will not permit the dwelling to be used for, or to facilitate illegal activity, including drug-related illegal activity, regardless of whether the individual engaging in such activity is a member of the household.4.Resident or members of the household will not engage in the manufacture, sale or distribution of illegal drugs at any locations, whether on or near the dwelling unit premises, or otherwise.5.Resident, any members of the resident’s household, or a guest or other person under the resident’s control shall not engage in acts of violence, or threats of violence, including but not limited to the unlawful discharge of firearms, prostitution, criminal street gang activity, intimidation, or any other breach of the housing agreement that the other wise jeopardizes the health safety or welfare of the landlord, his agents, or tenants.6.VIOLATION OF THE ABOVE PROVISIONS SHALL BE A MATERIAL VIOLATION OF THE HOUSING AGREEMENT AND GOOD CAUSE FOR TEMINATION OF TENANCY.

Well if the house has been up for 100 days with zero interest her starting price is too high.If the end goal is to stop the bleeding from her mortgage the fastest way to do that would be to hire a seller agent and get the property handled by a pro.If she is intent on selling it herself and needs a renter she can look into month by month renting laws in her state or potentially short term rentals in AirBnB if there is a market for it where she lives.

The ones that perform well do a great service.I used to help my grandfather with his company and when he got ill I had to step in so I know the work a good team puts in when they want to deliver quality service.That being said if you own only a few properties, have some decent tenants, and can do the leasing and accounting on your own maintenance can be a huge bummer if you're 2000 miles away in a different time zone.Trust is absolutely a huge factor and I hope to build a positive reputation as I move aheadThanks for the welcome!

Steve Kresse Eugene Kemp mine says I provide ongoing, but any pests as a result of tenant negligence will be on them intentional or unintentional (bugs as a result of lack of cleanliness, bed bugs, etc).

They don't generally have ill intentions but aren't aware sometimes of the ramifications seemingly minor actions have on the property.The answer for me is lots of on-boarding and coaching, some tolerable inspecting, open communication and trying to align their interests with mine.
