You have fixed cost so it is better to get some bodies in there so you can get market rent later. 

Asking in the correct forum will get a better response.Read the RULES!

This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

More expensive it is better obviously.

Their advantages include house hacking which includes better finance options and hustle.My last purchase was so large cash negative that the rents were $3k less than PITI.  

Don't be afraid to look at other markets since you are not married some states offer better purchase to cash flow ratios.States like Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida etc.   

From what I see all the people answering to me here (and there are so many) are just coming against and refusing to agree with my simple statement: "a landlord is not above the law or norms by its personal choice or presumed capability to judge what he don't know" or as well "a landlord cannot deny or miscarriage a service to a stranger without a known valid reason and at the same time pretend to be operating professionally or loyally to the moral"Basically I'm telling if you are not able to do your business correctly it would be better to find someone else than you, mainly when your ideas about "squatter" or fair treatment are coming from ignorance or completely invented. 

Hi ALL,Can anyone recommend a easy to use property management tool that we can use, so far, we have 4 rentals and growing, We will like to have better control of the information and have a easy system for tenants to pay rent.As always, thank you for your input!!

Northern NJ has options as well, but MTR works better in a lot of areas because there is demand.

Hope it was a great day and an even better year. from: Fellow EXP agent located in TEXAS!
