Quote from @Joseph Kirk: I would compile a list of contractors from referrals, and from Yelp etc.

They can introduce themselves face-to-face with the tenants, change the locks to control the property, get a copy of the lease from the tenant or sign a new one, etc.As for the old PM, it sounds like they owe you a copy of the lease and other paperwork (required by law), undelivered rent and security deposit, etc.I would compile your documentation and file a complaint with the Ohio real estate commission.

Pics are time stamped and have the GPS location in each picture as well.I want to dissuade them from trying to file suit against me, as it still takes time and hassle to fight, though at this point I've already compiled most of the evidence.

Aggregating data from public information is typically better to buy or rent from commercial providers unless you want customized data fields, highly targeted leads, compiled lists or response lists (prospects test have responded to others' offers). 

Personally, given the way I'm wired, what I've found useful thus far was listening to all the podcasts and from those I compiled a recurring number of book recommendations in order to build the foundation for the kind of business I want to create.

I know that he is right as she is probably baiting us to make a mistake but why she is dragging out the eviction when she isn't living there is just beyond comprehension to me.She's now compiled an eviction on her record, her boyfriends and her 18 year old son....seems counter productive given that we offered a workout several times in a way that wouldn't leave an eviction on their record.Rick

As far as comps go, you can pool your list of properties and have your VA(s) compile data for you, and transfer it into a form that you can easily analyze.

I'd like to compile a resource of strategies on self-managing STR's to maximize profits.

I'm reading, compiling the suggestions I'm getting here on BP and generally starting to formulate more of a research plan than a real investment plan yet.
