Property Managers are just like tenants: you need to know what a good one looks like, screen until you find a good one, understand your contract, monitor them, enforce the contract, etc.

What strategies would you recommend to enforce a stricter garbage policy?

This topic comes up frequently, but I would be impressed if someone could actually find legislation that requires a real estate agent to present all offers to a seller.I'm not saying it doesn't exist.

That was originally my plan, however legislation in Florida is creating hard times for realtors.

Florida has been top of our list to invest in, however with what is happening with HOA fees climbing, insurance increasing and the new legislation for condo taking effect in 2025 we are going to sit back and watch for a bit.We live in Calgary and have been looking at Arizona and Montana as well, Montana is close for us.Sharing your contacts would be greatly appreciated.Thanks for the help

In my brief adventure doing transactional financing, I actually ended up with several loans that were actually usurious and would've been very difficult to enforce the collection of a delinquent note.

We anticipate that there will be a moratorium on all Certificates of Ownership for manufactured homes until new legislation is passed/enacted.

From what I have seen in Colorado Springs, the lease only tends to range from half a month's rent to a full month's.Keep in mind, Colorado is coming out of a very anti landlord legislative session and you will have to stay in compliance with the changing laws.

So, even if they had good records they wouldn't have a lot of details needed to enforce.
