But as a side gig I do know a lot of people who concluded the aggravation/payoff ratio for managing other people’s properties wasn’t worth for them.Your mileage may vary of course.

I am going to guess no.....IT can be very frustrating and aggravating to deal with at times but what business is not.YOu just have to realize it is not as glamorous as most people paintit to be..

That will get them aggravated enough to leave, lol

I ended up getting rid of one of the homes because trying to manage both short term rentals from out of state was aggravating.

With the out of control cost out on properties now I wanted to get a general idea if modular building is worth the aggravation

Just not worth the aggravation to me.But.

But most aggravating is that 20 out of 22 listings were for other beaches!!! 

And you further state that you will probably not even get a good deal, and will probably not push the pont too terribly hard for fear of aggravating siblings, etc.

I cannot report them for trespassing ...chicago finest will show up on that beautiful block on 70th and Damen and laugh in my face ..so will the tenants ..and I will only aggravate them to the point that they might trash the place once they will be forced to move out 1 year later by the Sheriff...1 year that's how long the eviction takes. first 90 days notice, then the sheriff need to go out there (who knows when) and give them the notice of forcible entry being filed against them then the judgment..then sheriffs eviction ..I will be lucky of they gone in Sept 2017. cash for keys will not work ...what they gonna do with $2K if they know they can live rent free for a year ...average monthly rent is around $800 over there ...good thing is ...that SFR 3br/1ba brick raised ranch will increase in value...I could make them my tenants ..have them sign the lease ...and hope they miss the payment ..problem is that once I make them my tenants I am responsible for upkeep of the property..what if there is mold in the basement and they develop sudden breathing disorder ?

I hear complaints all the time about smartmove and similar products where the tenants find it aggravating and time consuming.
