Panicking Part 2
Update: I've been screening prospective tenants like crazy! No one has met the requirements. Last week i added Section 8 as an option. Wow, these people are spoiled. They are looking for single homes. I guess Sec. 8 became very generous :) So, I started looking for PM companies. The 2 that responded want a month's rent to place the tenant then 10% monthly for management (such as checking on tenant--WHAT??)...One company states on it's website that to place a tenant they charge $250. I wonder what the catch is. None have a stipulation that the tenant has to stay for 12 months. I responded and asked for a custom agreement because i live downstairs and can collect the rent myself and possibly handle maintenance ;)...did not hear back! Ugh
