This includes preparing the property for renters, pricing it right, marketing, application screening, collecting rent, dealing with unpaid rent and other lease violations, security deposit disposition, inspections, and so much more.

If they don't contact us within 10 days, we can change the locks and take possession.And, of course, if you choose you can file for collections on them.

If it would concentrate on rent collection only and do it well, it might be okay.

Get the right team and you will only have to worry about paying bills and collecting cash flow.
