We typically make calls every couple of days to see if the utilities have been cut off.

This summer I want to add a couple of outdoor games. 

Most folks are charging 10% of the rental rate for monthly PM fees. 1 months rent for a leasing fee and couple hundred for a lease renewal.

While the Agent mention that the seller would prefer no assignment, to which I acknowledged. 

I’ve mentioned it to people at work and some friends who are moving to the city, but my place is either too far for them, or they prefer their own space.

Quote from @Kaushik Sarkar: Hi,I am interested to talk to SDIRA custodians preferably local to the DFW Texas area to expand my investments in real estate.

You can probably hold out for the right renter but you might be waiting a couple months. 

Those rentals debt serviced and also covered my California monthly rent (I know some of you may question paying someone else's mortgage) but at that time, I preferred the renting lifestyle which placed me much closer to work, my family, my clients, and friends.

I actually prefer some of these search and map features over the MLS.And those that think they can save $$ on commissions will be disappointed.

Hopefully as the rates and the housing market loosens so will some of these guidelines in the HML programs. from talking to hard money funds especially those who operate in more than 10 states, and 5 years of experience with underwriting teams, I'd actually disagree and say new construction is preferred to rehab due to experience level to enter the market. there's BP lenders that will do 15% LTC with 1-2 new build experience.
