So the rent is often not their first priority in a financial pinch.

We went with cream  to brighten this one up....and chocolate front door and garage door (not in picture below as it's out of date).  

Hotels give complimentary breakfasts and leave chocolates, etc.

Unfortunately there are pretty much ZERO good property managers in town.Most lie, cheat and steal.We started offering management to folks that didn't buy through our turnkey model but decided to stop doing it for now.PM is a S#@# business unless you have large volume where you can actually turn a profit.Most PM companies in Toledo have very few under management so the only way to put food on the table is to up charge everything.Some "on top" fees include: Eviction, *** maintenance *** (This one is the biggest scam they pull) , leasing renewal, admin fees, tenant placement, etc...A tonne of penny pinching happens as the monthly 10% is not enough to pay the bills.Be very cautiousMuch success 

Spray the rooms with Fabreeze or make chocolate cookies and microwave them so the smell lingers.

Only problem is that they are generally more expensive and sometimes won't lend on primary residences, but if you are in a pinch that might be an option. 

I forget at the moment though you'll live for a week (tums tablets are a good calcium source in a pinch).

Recently, when I became aware that there were probably NOT  chocolate mint girl scout cookies in there, or anything else of real value, I stopped] and talked with the neighbors about possible solutions.

But in 2014 they changed leadership and I've yet to have a good experience with them since.I used Sheraton in a pinch last time.

With a couple deals under my belt I am starting to feel the pinch of lost contacts or just lost information regarding the contacts.
