That's the side of the story that never seems to get told, and also why I understand when other landlords come off with an attitude that may appear on the surface to be harsh, though really is frustration that we don't get credit for all the good we do.

They charged a lot for chemical cleaning of AC and pressure check etc.

Failure to do so could result in harsh penalties by the state licensing board.

Again, I am not against agents in most circumstances so no harsh words please!

I know others have simply taken a garden hose and sprayed the nest, but the sprays have chemicals that will reduce the chance of them rebuilding the nest in the same spot.

The back house was sprayed 6 months ago and the tenants took necessary procautions to prevent future bed bugs ( fully encased beds and use of professional chemicals) but the main house decided not to spray at the same time.

This doesn't make landlords harsh.

that's why you'll see thousands of posts in the archives of this forum about people being a newbie wholesaler and "building their empire", but they quickly stop posting and we never hear from them again...again, sorry to be harsh...take it as constructive criticism and use it to motivate you to find some deals...once you find deals nobody else knew about, you'll have buyers begging you for more deals....good luck!

:lol: Didn't mean to sound harsh, sorry about that...

I'd be looking for something with a bit more padding on it.Not to say I haven't taken deals that thin (or thinner, even) when the buy-side market has been harsh and not a lot of opportunities abound (And I've got cash sitting in a bank account, with opportunity costs piling up...)Now if you're asking me what my ROI on my time is...
