Well we have to Take Tardus rep at their word they do not take referral fee's..

No damage from any pets yet and you may even charge a pet fee as well. 

When we setup and furnished our STR last year, the internet/tv service provider would only install internet.

in our area that is a real big deal.. we did another demo and left a few pieces of flooring an inspector came on our job determined they had asbestos in them and we violated taking asbestos items to the regular land fill.. that cost me 19k in fines and 18k in lawyer fees to keep the fines from being really big..

Here are some of my takeaways from your budget:Operating Costs: Your STR management fee of 20% is high.

MTR brought in 75% of the gross and more of the net due to lower cleaning fees for turning over the STR.For gross numbers we brought in about 1.2% of the ARV value in monthly rent this year which is decent based on the rules of thumb at least. 

With all of our maintenance fees, property management fees, ext. we only brought home one check for around $800 last year.  

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

You can do whatever you want in terms of bending for the tenants and trying to provide "great service,' but the truth is you receive no credit for it and will be the evil landlord at the first repair that takes too long, late fee owed, alternation denied, etc.  

We embrace S8 applicants, but screen them just like any other applicant.Many have an entitlement mentality and try to leverage their S8 voucher by pretending to be helpless:1) A percentage won't apply because they expect a landlord to waive application fees for them.2) Many cry broke and expect a landlord NOT to charge them a security deposit.3) Many of those same S8 tenants trying to avoid paying a security deposit, won't make an effort to call the list of nonprofits we send them that will pay their security deposit if they apply.4) A lot of them try to avoid paying for utilities.
