This is easiest when you have a big network in the area of the property as word of mouth spreads fast.May find lots of tire kickers, but these are pretty simple and cost effective ways to get things rolling.

It will look a little sterile but you in Los Angeles you can roll with "contemporary".

If I sell any it will likely be those if I want to roll them into something larger, but for now, they are doing fine.

We sold the first and gained $30k and rolled that into the second and then made another $30k. 

Get to some of the local meet ups in the QC area if you can and those connections will really get the ball rolling.

I need to find out what a fair rate for the property should be, so I'm tempted to call in a broker, but I don't want to pay a commission for what might be a very easy deal.I figured I'm not the first guy in this situation, so I thought I would post the question here and see how others have approached this situation.Of course, if the tenant chooses not to renew, then I have a whole new set of questions: should I sell this property and try to roll over into a new 1031 exchange - or should I keep this property and try to fill it with a new tenant?

@David F.net rental income = (75% * rent roll) - PITI.25% is to cover expenses. per Fannie Mae: "The remaining 25% of the gross rent will be absorbed by vacancy losses and ongoing maintenance expenses."

Now you are on a roll and if someone took your auto because you did not fix something the tenant requested you would be upset.Okay, clearly you can't see the legal contradiction in your own post, if you think it's OK to tow a car for a flat tire, but not ok if they failed to pay for their monthly parking fee.I'll wait for a more legal opinion.

If payment does not hit your bank on the 1st, you will issue a 3 day pay or quit or whatever your state allows and that will allow you to start the ball rolling sooner on eviction if they do not get rent paid by the end of the grace period.  

Never take a PM word on rent roll or even the seller.
