Personally I would serve the 3 day notice and then serve the notice to vacate after she pays.

Given my geographic inability to personally manage the properties and long stretches of not having cell or internet service, I'm calculating 3rd party property management into all my deals.

Forget your current investments.What is your personal and financial objectives?

We have found - from personal experience - that these courses offer general knowledge that often do not apply to your state or local area. 

(It does not have to be empty of personal property).  

The reviews are tied to the agent because he or she is the person that provided the service.

I would personally screen my MTR tenants and have them sign a lease.

In fact, an agent can get you into on market properties and when you write an offer, the rest can easily be handled by a title company / real estate attorney (depending on your area) all the way to closing. 

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

We all love the idea of the elusive off market deal, but if you are just a person who buys real estate rather than someone who has a real estate business, don't get cute.
