My partner and I were at the project daily doing some handyman work ourselves to save money.

I then charge them daily rent until they are out and take it out of the deposit.

It's hard to beat local knowledge, working and renting out your submarket on a daily basis.  

Six months ago I rented out one of the units to a young couple that had a “friend” stay over (daily) while at work.

And agents that specialize in fixer upper hoarder type houses have their buyers already lined up just like wholesalers trying to put their buyers list together I get asked damn near daily to be put on this guys or that gals list..

There are some tools that will update daily for you.

They are not cut out for dealing with tennat issues and must step back from daily operations. 

@George Blower thanks for the welcome, I have been roaming this site daily for months!

You have been given information now needed to be administered in your daily activities.

However, the benefit of my husband being an agent is that he can get leads on listings as soon as they hit the market by checking in throughout the day on the daily hotsheets, plus you get all of the other information about the listing that's not on a 3rd party website and you can go to the property on your timetable and not have to schedule with another agent a time that works for them.
