@Selena Walsh -- I would love to meet you some day -- us both being local.1) Cost 2) Handles all laundry (provides sheets, towels, etc) and paper products (TP, Paper towels, etc).3) I think I'd prefer some that charged by turn vs a % cost of the rental4) All inclusive (I don't want to have someone take 28%-40% and not give the option to provide or manage snow, lawn, etc)5) Shares guest information (all names, email, addresses, phone, etc). 6) I'd prefer the person be able to be at the place within an hour to handle any issue in person if need be.

Next roommate just raise the rent to cover the utilites and make it all inclusive . 

George, that's usually the case with such folks, and why they need to prove payments made.I didn't go over closing the transaction or other issues, so it's not an all inclusive list of stuff to do, but to get you to a bid.

Another question is, what is inclusive and exclusive on their price, the third question will be, do you really know what you want?

Good points Jeff, a common wall agreement generally covers common areas like grounds, roof, access, repairs required that are common to the building, simply referred to as a common wall agreement, so check on the agreement being inclusive of other issues.

Today I can break even on it if I sell inclusive of all costs, but I don’t want to.

Where I live in California it's called all-inclusive trust deed, or aitd.

Seems like the total acquisition cost (inclusive of repairs) would be a better number for determining your C on C.

The 680k payoff amount is all-inclusive of fees/penalties/back taxes/insurance etc.
