What I do with the LLC fits into my day to day routine and I don't have to do any of the work/oversight.  

I got an interesting phone call from an elderly client yesterday. 87 year old woman who regularly goes to the hairdresser every 2 weeks.Hairdresser is located in a shopping center that's next door to a Mercedes dealership.Evidently customers of the Mercedes dealership routinely park in the shopping center and the center's management company has warned the Mercedes dealership on multiple occasions.My client drives a Mercedes.My client goes in for an hour and gets her hair done.

In those neighborhoods we routinely check out open houses, drive for dollars, look at the pictures for everything that comes up in the area.  

What would you estimate/mo for routine repairs?

While it's not unusual that places like Lowes/Home Depot will routinely offer appliance sales at 10 to 30 percent off year round,  you'll typically find reductions at 40 percent off during Black Friday.I tend to use Lowes/Home Depot routinely for the free delivery and also because I purchase using 10 percent off coupons and gift cards as payment.Some landlords will wait until January and pick up great used appliances from craigslist (replaced with Christmas presents of new appliances) but honestly, my days of picking up and hauling appliances around are long over!

Perhaps they have them blocked if you don't have a plan, though I think its more likely they're charging you.I don't routinely use text for business, but do once in a while.

They would take care of routine maintenance & collecting rent as well as helping you screen potential tenants.

., taxes, insurance, routine maintenance, property management fees, utilities (at least when vacant), CPA fees, legal fees, make-ready costs, etc), capital (big expenses that have to be capitalized over multiple years - roofs, furnaces, sewer lines, etc), and vacancy.

Send them out at the end of the week so they get to the targeted seller on Saturday (during the week most people sort their mail over the trashcan during their daily routine, while most folks spend a bit more time going through their mail on Saturdays).

If you invest in an area where you routinely see rents at 1.5% of the final selling price, you'll run the 1.5% rule on properties.
