I have a great agent and a great property manager (and they have great relationships with local contractors) and I gladly pay them their commissions and sometimes even send them a cookie basket or gift card for dinner.

@Josh Cook I have used Signature Electric for about 8 years.

I've seen this type of layout before what was done when the kitchen needed to be remodeled was a small piece of counter (maybe a foot or less was added on the other side of the stove with a cookie sheet type cupboard underneath. 

(Hint: Follow Walmart - their customers tend to be your tenants)Conservative Underwriting - Leaving some "cookies in the closet" is a phrase my partner refers to when we are underwriting parks. 

If you absolutely don't have the time or the ability to self-manage, I would suggest that you research local, area-focused property managers rather than larger cookie-cutter ones.

Ask to her leave a plate of cookies and a glass of milk out when she goes to bed.

I bring coffee and cookies.

Empty countertops are dull, so adding some cute (clean) towels, fruit bowls, even cookie jars go a long way to add some personality.

Banks usually like cookie cutter mortgages so find someone that knows how to work creatively.Consider a private mortgage. 

For your cookie cutter homes with base model finishes, it has a great pulse on the price.
