Hi Kin,Transferring your share of the property to your brother may have tax implications, including gift tax if the transfer is considered a gift.

Such a situation is recoverable if there is enough time for a market recovery and the cash flow is at least break-even (or there is enough reserve cash to cover negative cash flow until it can turn positive). 

When I had to switch Property Management companies, they suggested that I do include pets in my rental listing. 

It's going to offer Strong economic growth, Appreciation (especially in DFW), Tax advantages (no state income tax), and a Growing population, including infrastructure and amenities. 

Most 3BR turnkey homes are closer to $285K and upwards, so with money more expensive, and minimum rent of $1800... possible break even scenario.

We have a single flat fee of $1,500 for all of our fees, including the appraisal/valuation.

The law allows you to charge for ALL cleaning, including trash removal.

@Polat CaglayanI've never seen a formula but here is a general rule of thumb for multifamily:The class of an apartment refers to the quality of the building, which can be determined by a number of factors, including age, location, and condition: Class A: These are the highest quality apartments, typically built within the last 15 years.

If so, you know how the neighborhoods break and that the appreciation trajectory can be diametrically opposed within a block.

Just say no.I would almost never do this trade unless all my downside, including potential unknowns, were completely compensated for.
