Before I get into how I look at it, we need to get on the same page with what flipping is.

We live within an hour, so we started investing in an area that we were semi-familiar with and visit often! 

This property is managed by a property manager, is it appropriate for the PM to call/visit her place of employment, call/email her boss etc, in order to try to get in touch?

Just because you have a bible thumping youtube page does not translate into a mass following on a youtube page on glamping.

We specialize in residential demo (decks, sheds, kitchens, bathroom, carpet and flooring removal), junk removal (garage clean outs, basement clean out, hoarded houses, etc), and we haul materials (gravel, sand, stone, rock and building materials).Please reach out our facebook page at Done Right Haul Away LLC. 

If law allows, record your visit to protect yourself from false accusations (sexual harassment, theft, etc.)Did you receive anything from the Tenant's attorney?

Just so I'm on the same page.

We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

REP status is a core issue in our specialty, and we're mostly on the same page as far as tax planning surrounding it.
