When you're starting out, working with a real estate agent can be incredibly beneficial, as they act as your fiduciary and can help guide you through the process, finding the right properties and ensuring a smooth transaction.For repairs and remodeling, a general contractor is typically your best bet, as they can manage and oversee the entire renovation process.

Some single family homes are configured in such a way that people I know have closed the door to the house and put in a sliding glass door to the outside and rented out that room and the bathroom next to it, but that depends on the floorplan.

Seems like everything goes wrong all at once and having those reserves helps smooth things out. 

My realtor said she would swing by after the first few stays to ensure the cleaners are doing their job correctly and everything was running smoothly.

Our process of onboarding and initial communication were fairly smooth.

Its been about 5 months that I've had my first rental property everything seems to be going smoothly with my tenants they sign another year with me which is good!

But I constantly have been getting "that wasn't part of the project" " I didn't know to fix that"Does anyone have a good system of working with contractors to have a smooth transaction.

Normally I would have let her pay since she neglected to tell me, but I paid the overage after the credit because she was leaving in a couple weeks and wanted that to go as smoothly as possible.

But he still needs to disclose it, it can still pop up on the credit report, nothing like trying to slide one past a federally insured lender, LOL. :)
