The seller and their agent hopefully did a good job communicating with that tenant to set expectations.

I have a full time w2 job. 

I’m currently operating in South Georgia market. 

Thanks, Victor.I have met the people in person, and it's a fairly large, established lender operating in multiple states. 

One reason was the condo management company wasn't doing a great job and there were always extra levies. 

I'm really busy with my w2 job working all the time to fund my investments. 

That's your job. you should be inspecting the rental at least once a year and looking for things like this that could cause problems.I'm curious why your caulking is completely gone if this is "newer" construction.

Great job! 

Melanie:You say I sound like an operator, but you may have missed that I'm talking about my PASSIVE investments.  

(So therefore we wouldn’t have to pass on the cost of the repair to him ie. the tenant).Now, several months later, I contacted the contractor to ask if he would be to provide a price estimate for a different job at our house.
