Mine rented in less than 15 days.)All in all, that gives me $140 a month for vacancy, CapEx, and repairs.

I just had to pay for and its being installed today a new HVAC at 11k.. on a property that I net 1k a month on .. there went a year of cash flow Poof.

Job included inside work of leveling floors, installing flooring, paint walls, kitchen cabinets, etc in both units, as well as lay a new driveway, fence the back yard, provide attic fans, and install electric to the crawlspace to add lights and a sump pump.

.: First, I don't let them get a month behind on rent.

In the end, it would have made more sense to hire a couple handymen for a week or two than me spending 3 weeks installing flooring, base and case.

Install cameras and exterior lighting on timers, place no trespassing signs, and place items that indicate occupancy - like a BIG dog bowl near the front door, shoes, etc. 

Installing thermostats with regulated heat control (we pay heat) 3.

I always use glass enclosures for showers and install doors on tub/shower combos.

If you only gave Pricelabs a month, that is not enough time for it to work.

Also I would talk with those that install systems they usually have a good feel for areas and maybe will do an onsite inspection.for me if just vacant land and all i need to do is dig a 3 foot hole to get soil samples I am going to just do that.
