  • I own 3 rental properties in 3 states—Florida, New Jersey and Connecticut, because of Gaylord, I have the least problems with the CT properties. That does not mean things don’t go wrong---dryer brakes, cleaning needed, plumber needed---but I can always trust Gaylord to handle the situation. Because of Gaylord, the CT property is a successful rental.
