I told them that would help ease my concern if I can see how they are treated the home for last 3 years and also for the landlord to show me the 3 years of on time payments all of which they said are not a problem.

as an assessor i just so happened to be in a house today that might need to be razed because the past damage was so bad....and that was from 1973.

I was wondering, how do you deal with bad communication from the "standard Property Management Company"?

A vacancy costs you a month of rent; a bad tenant costs you thousands in legal fees and damages.Your screening process is your only real insurance policy.

This was a bad investment before even factoring the new property tax amount. 

Not underwriting a reasonable minimum vacancy factor, rent concessions, or any bad debt / delinquency.

You’ll stay “legal”, have most repairs finished the day the tenant calls them in, and tenants tend to treat PMs like professionals compared to mom&pop landlords.

- How do lenders and appraisers usually treat these discrepancies in your market?  

Do you treat single families and multifamily differently?

I know the phrase "don't mix business with friends/family", and I have personally seen this go good and bad for those close to me when blending the 2.My question is does anyone have experience with this, what to consider, and general advice on the situation?
