It's hard to tell from the language if this is a requirement (to minimize absentee out of state landlord issues) or simply to state who might be working on behalf of the out of state landlord as more of a safety precaution/heads up (e.g.

I took on a frantic timeline because my pending renters' house was being sold by their landlord. 

I was hoping if there‘s fellow landlord who could share advice on any good property management company in that area.

when it comes to buying rental houses in the quote un quote cash flow markets.. these markets are pretty much all interchangeable.. rent rates pretty consistent  with about a 1400 to 1500 cap.. higher than that and most will buy.I think for quick math for out of state folks so they don't get lured into properties that are ONLY appropriate for local tough as nails landlords.. you simply need to look at the median price of the area.. then buy within 10 to 20% of that.. and also only buy were the rent commanded is within 20 to 25% of the top rents in the area.. 

Most landlords should help to eradicate issues.

I been playing with lists I've put together, skip tracing landlords and asking if they want to sell and if not how about buying?

*It should be noted that in the next three weeks, we will be closing on our first SFH buy & hold where we will be the landlords/managers but the property is 4 hours away (its a family deal). 

I’m so relieved.As a landlord, it’s better to swallow your pride and settle for a small loss than try to go through an ugly eviction process for weeks or months and end up losing thousands of dollars on legal fees, lost rent and rehab fees.

As a realtor for the past 10 years, I have helped hundreds of Chicagoland landlords rent and manage their properties. -- I even wrote a "Landlord Tips" book which is well received by landlords, especially since it is Free.  :-)That being said, I am considering forming a Meetup group where we can continue our landlord support in a group setting and landlords can also help each other.Has anyone had success with Meetup?

I have competed 5 flip to landlords and working on 6-7 now and a filp to sell.
