I spoke to the employee for the sales details already but I would to see the books too.

Hi Matt, whenever evaluating an MTR market I would suggest looking at Furnished Finder, Airbnb/VRBO (30+ day stays), and Zillow to try and see what other online listings are available. 

Hire my first full-time employee in Q2. 

@Paul Caputo While I don't disagree with your points, at the same it doesn't make you an uninterested party in evaluating KBKG calculator.

Rather most sellers don't keep good or any books so they don't know what their expenses are and most buyers of these units don't understand or know how to evaluate based on cap rates.

I don’t think notice is even required if they are the ones giving you notice of problem that needs to be addressed, and if they’re really concerned about mold, you’d think they’d want evaluation asap.

While it may seem like a high fee you'd be hard placed to replace those services with a paid employee and do better than you're paying now.My problem with the deal is the $5,000 setup fee.

You will have employees, customers, stakeholders in investors.  

But it’s been a great business for us with minimal risk, a good return, and no need to please investors or manage employees!!!

We also see the struggles you face:Disgruntled customers due to communication breakdowns and scheduling mishaps.Frustrated employees missing deadlines because of complex systems.Recurring service issues stemming from a lack of standardized procedures.Unhappy technicians dealing with unclear pay structures and disputes.The constant threat of legal and financial trouble from non-compliance.You wear many hats, and there just aren't enough hours in the day.
