If this is everyone's first real estate investment, IMO, this has the potential to get really sticky. 

We just closed on a deal in Houston that was pretty sticky with judgments, extensions, and delays in getting payoffs etc, but the communication was always there. 

Hey Carl,I would recommend calling Brent Rice with Multifloors.

It seems that every neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio has gotten hit with the appreciation stick. I

@Marc Rice thanks for that.

@Connor Rice a good deal is all in the eyes of the beholder!

@Marc Rice thanks for the advice, i will definetly give it a try 

@Marc Rice thank you !!

It assures me that they aren’t over-extending themselves into a living situation they can’t afford and it’s brought me even more peace of mind than the 1st&last’s security deposit ever had while making me happy to invest my time & money assisting the family w/ tailoring the unit to their needs (mounting tv’s, making minor repairs to squeaky floors, sticky cabinets, childproofing, etc) so they don’t attempt to try their hand at amateurly repairing things themselves which always makes things worseThe increased fee has made me rationalize the time/cost investment of time while also strengthening the  relationship & respect (both ways) than I’ve had with the average tenant.
