At the end of the day, I understand that you're offering is somewhat less competitive on paper if you were to charge 12% instead of 8%, but assuming cost is neutral in both scenarios, as an owner, I will always opt for the agreement that doesn't place the PM in a potential conflict of interest with the owner.  

It’s durable, water-resistant, and easy to clean.Countertops: Laminate or quartz countertops can be more cost-effective than granite but still offer a modern look.Paint: Choose neutral colors to appeal to a broader range of tenants.3.

If I buy with 20% down instead of 3% the property would then be cash neutral half the year and cash flow $1,000 per month the other half.

As a general rule we always use some kind of neutral color for houses we plan to sell, and have used a light gray many times with success.

Painting houses a neutral color is the easiest and least expensive way to get houses rented or sold. 

Warm white or a soft beige is nice and neutral for cabinets. 

Would it be insane to paint everything a neutral white?

He also suggested I bring out someone else to camera the system again to get a second neutral opinion.I hired Cable, Pipe, & Leak Detection and the technician that came out today was very impressed with the on-site system. 

I wonder if anyone (neutral) would be willing to help me cross-check my numbers.I am happy to connect to provide details.

Let's say you increase rent by $50 per month per year - and for arguments sake your expenses are neutral.
