Another reason to start small, don't want to hire a contractor for a massive job just to find out they suck or are ripping you off.Then it's onto the fun part.

Got ripped off.

All it takes is a great deal to come by and you get really excited, and then boom you get ripped off because you looked past something, its always good to take a step back and ask your self if its to good to be true, its probably is to good to be true.

If your current tenants won't be able to pay the new market rent, I'd rip the band-aid off and bring it to market.

This was something I thought that I was being friendly and personable as a landlord, but I still ended up getting burned for being nice Rereading this I feel like I sound a bit jaded, but it’s also better to rip off the band aid early on versus letting the bad stuff build up over time and hear things like “the other landlord was never like this” etc etc Best, Michael

Not to say I wouldn't considering representing, but I don't think theres a large enough clientele out there that values a socially awkward realtor showing up in a multicolored Accord, ripping cabinets down and chasing roaches around with an air nailer.
