I NOW HAVE TENANTS!!!! FINALLY!!!!

[Marvin Stewart]

Hi BG!

After 4 months of having my investment property, I finally found someone to lease my rental property. My partner and I are super excited to have NEW Tenants and we're now able to reap the benefits of our property. I did compromise one thing that I didn't think I would, which was allow smoking inside of my property. With that, I let my tenants know that I would extend the lease terms by 12 months and up the rent by $15 per month.

Both tenants agreed to the terms and was super excited to get approved for the house. Monthly payments will be made via ACH from my tenants bank each month! 

I am looking for a great property management company. Any suggestions? My property is in Louisiana.

@Marvin Stewart One suggestion when you do need to turn the property over would be to use an ozone machine.  I do not allow smoking in my properties but I've bought several fixer-uppers that were previously smoked in and while they were being rehabbed we ran the ozone machine.  They have worked wonders in my experience and have saved me a lot of money vs having to use an oil based primer to cover up the smell before painting.

Good luck and congrats on getting your property rented!
