Some work that comes to my mind is:1) Managing tenants to get rent paid2) Diagnosing a repair issue and getting the right team to make the fix3) Fielding messages from prospective tenants on advertised rentals4) This list goes on...I've found a company that automates rent collection and income/expense tracking for free, but I'd like to replace my property management portal altogether and feel I'm only half way there (certainly a tenant facing chat bot would close the gap).

Any investments in real estate that are advertised to the point that someone just getting started sees them are scams.

The listing agent then splits the commission with the agent who brings a qualified buyer, and this percentage is advertised on the MLS for each property.

So the lease will be higher than the advertised rent, they will be responsible for minor repairs, they are responsible for obtaining the proper licenses and pay all the taxes for their business operation (If you don't do this, you will regret it one day you see a tax bill that you as the property owner who are responsible for), and they required to have a STR insurance policy. 

Just means they spend more on advertising.

Some locations landlords typically pay, some locations the tenants pay.I don't expect that a settlement to stop advertising commissions in the MLS will have an impact on leases, or sales for that matter.

you're way underwater.BRRRR IMO is tougher than advertised. 

If not and you're weary of dealing with this business you can always inform him you will begin advertising for a new tenant (which, of course, means there will be showings of the unit) and once a qualified replacement is found, his lease can be terminated.Sometimes when a tenant realizes there will be folks tromping through their place the bathroom "odor" suddenly evaporates.While you should not have to suffer loss of rent over all of this, life is too short to keep dealing with this nonsense.

Is it possible to succeed, of course, but most fail because they really don't know what they are doing.In the past, got deals prior to MLS which allowed me the best opportunity to wholesaler today, that is no longer possible unless you direct mail advertise to motivated home sellers.

Having control of all aspects of esthetics down to where, when and how the homes are set will give your tiny village a more solid, planned appearance and comfortable layout.Oregon offers many opportunities that are not widely advertised.
