I also own rental property in Northern KY and have a pretty good handle on the area.

I'm going to put it in each apartment's garage on their units meter electric billing is all handled by the Tenant, not me.

In situations like those, I know the best thing to do, is send out mailers to see if homeowners would like to sell their homes, and see if I can make a cash deal, no commissions needing to be paid or closing costs.The issue I run into is that I am now a licensed agent in California, and I don't know the best way to handle looking into self investing options, when as an agent, you are bound to make sure homeowners are not harmed financially in the sale.

In large part we don't have the shipping fleet in this country to handle that demand.

The main reason I was concerned about how this would be handled in court is because the demand letter is from her son in law whom is a landlord tenant attorney.

Some sellers and listing agents will still tell you no and try to make all tenant issues yours to handle after close.

The action of active management includes advertising and listing the property, screening and placing tenants, as well as collecting the rent and handling maintenance calls.

They are doing one of the following:1) Hiding their charge somewhere2) Charging by the hour, but then you don't know what they are paying their maintenance people (so, cost is again hidden)3) Will only handle small maintenance issues and wither tell you to handle the larger ones or they will get bids and build in a markup4) They'll provide poor service because they are not adequately staffed to deliver on all their promises.

Not sure how your state is handling evictions now but most states have a COVID relief fund and maybe this will be the kick in the rear they need to fill out those doc's and seek help. 

How will maintenance/repair calls be handled?
