The day before I arrived, I had no choice but to text Chris and ask him for the lockbox code.

The rate will change over time, so maybe not the best choice for some but its not a large some of money to adjust so I am ok with it as long as I get stellar returns from the properties that I purchase with it.

couple of bullet points to bring up:* she's on M2M* I told her on 12/7 of the new rent which would apply to a new Jan. 1 effective lease, this is when I got the "I'm moving out" message* Sent her the move-out letter on 12/11, with options for her to either be moved out by 12/31 (she's fully paid up for month of December) or by 1/11 (30 days from date of notice) and pay a pro-rated rent based on her CURRENT rent amount. her choice, either is fine with me.With all that said, I'd love to do as you mentioned and post a notice on her door. 

I than let them know my top choices for PM/TP provider in that specific market, not just my own but whoever I see as current best, and what there rates are.     

The time for them to negotiate the price was when they got the appraisal done-they didn't, so too bad.Two choices-take the $5K and relist with a new realtor or negotiate with them for the $24K they are short. 

Or like some of the crowdfunders money flooded in and they made some pretty seriously poor lending choices and they themselves and their investors got wiped out.

If it is to manage property then hire more people, otherwise focus on what you're good at and hire a company.2) Hardin Realty & Property Management is a good choice because of our experience and specialty working with investors and maximizing ROI.

Ultimately, shared laundry works just fine in our multi's - sometimes you just have no choice.2.

When January comes, you will have two disadvantages:- you will have missed on the end-of-year planning opportunities- some of the most highly sought after professionals will be full and not taking clients anymoreAnd the longer you wait, the fewer choices you will have. 

With that said, a lot of people take the cost-benefit, but no one can argue it's a smart choice, just a frugal one.
