I would interview agents who are familiar with your area and knows how to reach the right buyers.

If you enter a true partnership with this GC, you will be splitting not only potential profits but also potential losses.

Two potential challenges:1) Finding someone with ALL the necessary expertise2) Finding someone that has enough time or can work efficiently to maintain your list

Both of this will likely require real time conversations which will be difficult from India3) Maintenance when tenants are staying - I feel less worried about this as I can have the tenant coordinate with my chosen vendor (that I already have or can potentially find from India by talking to them on phone at night time in India / morning in the US).

A potential tenant filed a housing discrimination by maritial status against me (Owner) and realtor (Rental). 

An additional benefit of a detailed engineering-based Cost Segregation Study is that it can increase potential insurance premium savings as well as provides support for the property tax appeals process.

Whereas, Iowa City isn't growing quite as much, is very saturated with rentals, and people go there for college so potential for high turn over.

Feel free to reach out any time.

I need some advice on the following situation.I am sorry for asking such a basic question, but unfortunately, I am still new to this and never dealt with this type of scenario before.I have a single family home that is part of an HOA.My main goal is to protect the asset and avoid any potential financial loss as much as possible.The current lease agreement states that the tenants are responsible for mowing the grass.They are also responsible for paying any HOA fines, etcUnfortunately after multiple attempts to get through to them to cut the grass, the grass was never cut and the yard is getting worst and worst.They also refuse to turn on the sprinkler system which is causing the grass to slowly die.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!
