[quote=Anonymous]Hire a good handyman and don’t be irritated or a cheapskate when your renters call with repairs. Houses require maintenance and if you discourage your renters from calling, retain a bad repair person or do bad/cheap repair work yourself, you’re telling your tenants you don’t care about the place and they will likely act the same. You do not want them to ignore bigger issues because they think you don’t care or will feel put out. Do not hire an unprofessional property manager. They can destroy a good tenant-owner relationship with disrespectful and unnecessarily aggressive or defensive behavior. We have rented 10 houses and the only bad experience we had was with a McLean rental agent with a big RE firm. But every direct from owner lease we had ended in friendship. [/quote]
