It is routine to get potential client information (to ensure an attorney isn't adverse to the potential client on another matter) and to get information on known adverse parties for the potential matter of the potential client (to ensure those adverse parties aren't existing clients) prior to accepting a client.Furthermore, taking on a client without checking for conflicts may cause the attorney or firm to have to get rid of existing work they have for existing clients.  

But keep in mind the job of the insurance company is to try and avoid paying claims.They don't build fancy offices and name stadiums paying out claims.

It does not need to be fancy, but just to give the basic information on your company.Good Luck!

Couple of the things that have made my life easier as an owner and property manager:Listed out tenant qualifications in our application processCreated reminders to do routine checks on properties (check HVAC, clean gutters, etc.)Leveraged property management software (we use Buildium)Thanks again for starting the conversation!

They have a fancy website but handwritten receipts that are not specific at all.

I love to watch stand up comedy but so far no one has done a routine about "games tenants play" and what happens when landlords uphold their rules.

If they are newer or routinely late on rent....sorry not my problem!

In the neighborhood with the “Not for sale” signs that I had in mind with my comment, there are a lot of 100 year-old working class craftsman bungalows that are now squeezed in between fancy new 3 unit condo buildings that loom over them, so many people feel literally squeezed out by investors.

For the baseboards I pull the existing and replace with 1x6 pine with quarter round on top for that fancy touch.

THE SECOND MONTH Somehow during the Second Month, when the newness wears off and the happiness falls into a routine, the new Tenants become confused.
