Ultimately it's important to be accurate, consistent, and in a controlled pace in executing a task. 

First off, it sounds like you’ve got a solid plan and a great mindset for taking control of your financial future.

I would rather have my own properties where I have more control.

Since when does the president control interest rates?  

I am thinking about updating my lease to prevent tenants from displaying Democratic Posters of any one running for elected office that champions ideas such as Rent Control, Gun Control or other anti-landlord ideologies.

Cash-flow is easier to predict and manage/control. 

Many foundation repair companies (and some pest control) offer services for crawlspaces, to include mold remediation, encapsulation, etc.

Nothing is charged until the trial ends and you have full control to end your membership at anytime before you are ever charged.

G'Day everyone,The team (@Dominique Osborn, @Sean Mahoney) and myself have an opportunity to on-board 189 units.This would be a very nice "chunk" of new business but to be honest, I'm inclined to pass.I have always believed in doing business on your terms and for terms not to be dictated by someone else.Especially when you are looking to hire us/me to do the work for you.Also, business done right needs to be a win/win for all involved and this doesn't seem like a win for us.I do however understand the caution and reluctancy to "let go of the reigns" per se as many landlords get screwed by property managers.But at the end of the day, you have to "let go" and let someone else do it or just do it all yourself.I'd love your advice on the suggested terms given to us below:1) In AppFolio they want admin level access to their account.2) They want a standardized list for maintenance items so they know in advance what repairs would cost.3) They want a copy of all invoices from contractors to us so they can verify we are not marking up more than promised.4) They want to be able to talk to our contractors before work is done (each time) so they can talk contractors down in price themselves.5) They mentioned that they pay around $300 for full paint in a 2-bedroom unit.... we do not have a contractor that will touch a full paint on a 2 bedroom for $3006) They want tiered PM Fees based on occupancy.... for example (their example): at 90% they would pay 8% PM fees, at 70% occupancy they would pay 2% PM Fees, and at 50% occupancy we would part ways.The deal breaker in my opinion is points 4, 5 and 6.With the lack of oversight/control on maintenance we have little control over the occupancy and it kills our process and efficiency.So in a way, we are destined to fail from day 1.Also, if someone does want so much control why not just self manage.The unit count justifies hiring 1-2 full time people to run it.Otherwise, let us do our job.

People want to be heard and understood, not confronted by an aggressive investor...you can only control how you react to what happens.
