I try to review and respond to emails once a day and do not engage in back and forth “email chatting”.You can start telling your tenant that you’ll send someone over to look at a flickering light but if it ends up being something the tenant is responsible for it’ll be charged back to them and the service call might be a few hundred bucks.

I would not engage in fraud as the jail time would not suit me.Depending on the cause of the leak you could just turn off the angle stops (toilet/sink).

Hey @Kasey Destache - I am also based in Chicago like @Mike Scaccia but we are working with Verve credit union and I believe they are regional not just local to us down here.There are several key BP players up in Milwaukee I'd link up with them and see who they work with. 

You have everything you need to become a professional basketball player and join the Lakers.There's only one problem.

My last resort would be to engage a Property Manager to handle this, but even so, I'm not sure how can the Property Manager help.

Hi Abby,Old Buildings are pretty, but they take a LOT of knowledge and a lot of TODO to make happen.Maybe someone in here LOCAL to you can help you out (and not burn you out of the deal in the process).All of those things could be done, but the rent free thing might work better if you are a part owner and also building manger.I do not do this type of investment, but beware,,,not everyone is a fair player, and someone(s) may seek to squeeze you out of the deal and take the whole thing for themselves, leaving you with nothing.I will give you a "Lead".

Don't post every day about real estate but be posting and engaging with people all the time.
