I think you'd better not accept this kind of co-signing. It is a really unreliable way. It is probably that you will have troubles in the future.

No. You just didn't find the right way. If you choose the right real estate management tools, you will find it difficult to collect rent. I'm using tellus, which has a rent collection function. If tenants delay payment, they will pay a delay fee. Very useful.

Most of the reasons I know is the fee. They usually charge a big amount of service fee which is not value for money. And sometimes it is because the property managers don’t manage well.

It is just a door, just fix it. If a bedroom doesn’t have a door, it is not a bedroom. But why there is no door?

We will never view videos based solely on tenant requests. But we are happy to do so at the request of law enforcement or insurance companies. After many people wasted time reviewing videos and found something that didn't even happen, or something that happened elsewhere, we reached a consensus on this point.

Absolutely cut off the middleman and pay the contractor. Make sure you get multiple quotes and use the person you choose, which is the safest way.

I've hired a property manager to manage my rental properties before but now I use an online platform called Tellus to manage. I get full control of my property and also convenient to see everything of my property through an app.

I don’t think there is relating law supporting you. You only have verbal agreement between you without putting it down on paper.

Of course you need to do it! But there is no need to rent your property to the tenants like them. You can wait for another potential tenants other than stand a nightmare trouble in the future.
