For me the 15 days lost rent pales when compared to the other costs.An 8% vacancy rate means each unit will be vacant 1 month out of the year on average.

But, the MLS (and any FSBO marketing) pales in comparison to working with an agent who has a strong network, a great reputation and the ability to market your properties.In my opinion, you have two choices:1.

I guess if looking at a full report saved you from renting to a tenant that trashed the place and got 2 months free rent the annual hundreds of dollars in phone cost would pale in comparison.

Only a pale shadow of Vegas, but there are quite a few of them within walking distance of each other.

Rent ready condition and resale condition are 2 different things.In most states to manage other people's properties you HAVE to be licensed period.Unless you employ them or other loopholes available in your state.I am telling you that YOU WANT to use a property manager.If you try to cut a few bucks it will cost you severely later on.Look at www.irem.org These are highly trained property professionals.There is a search down to the area for broker/agents.REALTOR doesn't mean squat and it has nothing to do with licensing or training as a property manager.Do not look for agents who will do a rental cheaper on the side.They will not screen the tenant properly,will not check up on the property enough,as soon as a regular sale comes along many will dump your property as a priority for a big sales check.This is why you want a property manager that only does rentals and not sales.They have a vast network of tenants and a system in place to handle problems.They have already pre-screened tenants.That small amount of money you think you will be saving will pale in comparison when you have months of lost rent,damage to the property,re-doing eviction because the broker/agent messed up the papers and bought the tenants another 2 free months.Take it from someone that deals with over 20 tenants as an investor or default home owner having to rent.

Guess they'd have time to paint but not mow the yard LOL.So I just don't want to seem to "mean landlord" but at the same time want to have some standards.I guess I would consider it in the master bedroom, which has a wood laminate floor, and I considered repainting anyway as the color is a very pale off-white but w/a slight purple undertone.

Other features creating a buzz with the help of TV exposure are rattan fixtures, subway tiles, stainless steel appliances, pale grey paint colors, and the resurgence of mid-century modern furniture— just to name a few.

Pale Ales are good but I’m not a big IPA fan.

My sense of right and wrong says that keeping the money paid for a tile job that started coming up within a week after installation is straight up wrong, and that keeping any part of a deposit not already spent on materials at this point is beyond the pale.

The cashflow pales in comparison.
