Dawn, I will definitely give you a call and we can set up an appointment. We had water damage on the kitchen floor and were doing the renovation. Now we are ready to have it rent.

@Dana Hoffmann Thank you Dana. I will look into the BP post and thanks for the info.

Hello BP,

I have a townhome that I'm trying to rent. It has been vacant for 3 months now. I'm thinking on hiring a property management. This is my first house and I would like to turn it into rental property.

My questions are:

-) what are the advantages and disadvantages of a property management?

-) what percentage or fees are acceptable range for a management company?

-) how to screen and find the right management company?

What are the advantages of managing the property myself?

Thank you in advance for you advise. 

congrat Milan, 

hopefully I will post something like that as well. Way to go!!! Make sure you follow all the advises.

Hi Greg, this is the place for newbies. There are lot of informations on this site. The podcasts are very helpful as well. 

Thanks Andreas. The HOA doesn't mind that at all.

Thank you Dawn. That will be great if you don't running a rental comp for me. The color in the living room is a sky blue. I think we might just go neutral on the color.

How much or what percentage should I set aside for repair? Should tenant cover liability insurance or I have to? thanks

Thanks Jeff. I will try not to cut corners.

Jean, I will definitely look more into the tax aspect of. Thanks for the advise. Utilities is out. 

Thanks again guys
