I could handle a couple of months (their deposit + personal savings), but any longer and it would be a real strain.

Some banks, amc's, and VA use a blind rotation.

Kall-8 has toll free numbers for $2.00 per month, but it has to rotate to another number.

If I ever need to rekey anything, I just rotate in the spare and the one I pull out is my new spare.As far as how often you actually have to change them out, I would say it depends on the type of property and what tenants you attract.If you deal with lower income properties and section 8, I would probably change them after every tenant.

Very important to keep level while you're rotating the camera to get an accurate idea of view.

Less of a headache and financial strain of having the carrying cost.

@Jeff Valentino  My rentals now are so-so to be honest, had a major heroine turned eviction problem recently that is thankfully now over but that really put a strain on me managing all of them the best that I could, not to mention it was affecting 2 other tenants negatively as well.

We bring in the top authorities in the nation and rotate the topics between rehabbing, wholesaling, renting, and other misc investing topics and invite the public in to hear these free of charge.  

I am on a rotational program for supply chain and am currently living in San Diego.

We appreciate all feedback on 1) What you do 2) How often you do it 3) Do you do it or hire it done by a pro (and why if you have a reason) 4) How you track it or document it 5) How do you rotate this through your properties so that all don't come due in one month.We appreciate any experienced thoughts on systems and management of this.Thank you all in advance!
