I'm sure folks are gaming the system now.

.), offer an online portal for owners & tenants and MOST importantly, can tell you about their specific systems & processes to take care of your rentals.Many contractors are like politicians - whenever their lips are moving they're lying.

Madison Valley Bank is a seperate bank from Valley bank or the Glacier Banking System.

I have a tenant lease renewal this month and the feedback was they would be willing to pay more if I add a/c. what is a good payback period I should expect for adding a/c or a mini split system.

I have a rental property in Emmaus, PA (near Allentown), and I paid a plumber to remove the tank as part of converting the system to natural gas.

Further, they have developed rather sophisticated systems for marketing allowing them to generate leads of potential sellers fitting a particular profile.

It's a messed up system, tenants want their rent to stay really low, so they don't report problems, and always pay on time.. landlord is happy because not costing extra.. meanwhile the house goes downhill, and the next buyer is the one dealing with the issues fixing years of problems.. and then you raise rent, and the tenants hate you as the new big bad landlord who is greedy! 

I want to document these options so I can better systemize my investors process long term.As always any feedback is greatly appreciated!

It's clear the basement floods as a basement waterproofing company installed a full system in 2016.
