To be honest no one we showed the house to seemed to care. wow 8k for a waterline.. 

FHA or Conventional loan?

She said she could care less because they were original.So different Inspectors have different concerns......

I explained to the tenant I personally didn't care how he lived but had to do this to ensure I would continue to get payments. 

To be fair, I'm not saying the Midwest is a bad market but you have to be really careful where and what you buy. 

As far as ethically that is part of my nature and I don't care for the aggressive (potentially predatory) strategies discussed by others, but I see value in offering a transparent and convenient service with lower costs and faster turnarounds than traditional MLS transactions. 

I would be careful when looking at discount PMs because if they aren't making money, they likely have terrible systems in place for management. 

If you care to elaborate on your comment "trusts don't provide asset protection", I'm all ears and I mean that sincerely, I'm always ready to learn more.

We have project management software, Buildium, so the day-to-day tasks there are fairly well taken care of. 

Just be careful your expenses and time to complete don't go over.
