@Andrew Syrios I am arranging an inspection to get the rehab estimates and the area is a well established, older working class neighborhood.

And another is that things that seem like simple business arrangements (to you) can become drama minefields (to your tenants).

She would also arrange to give the tenant the keys and do the walkthrough inspection with them on move in day.  

It is not assumed with the consent of the lender but remain as part of the financing arrangement offered and created by the seller.

Let me give you an example: Two neighbors, side by side, both primary earners work at the same company in the same job title, trying to decide what is the best financial arrangement for working.

Hi guys,I'm in a position where I'm about to search for a property manager and was wondering what is typical for the scope of maintenance that they'll likely manage/arrange? 

You can work out whatever payment arrangement you want, if any, but having someone local that has the stated authority to enter the premise on your behalf and conduct check-ups, move-in/out inspections, etc will go a long way to helping your sanity level.

I'm always looking to form strategic alliances with people if we can make it a mutually beneficial arrangement.  

@Steve Snyder, I appreciate the breakdown, makes a lot of sense, so long as I can get the funding arranged I'm going to jump in with both feet

Hey BP friends,I'm looking for help with working out some of my notes, ideally starting as a vendor and as things move forward, we might discuss some other arrangements.
