The person who handles all your transactions and your account answers the phone EVERY TIME ON THE 1ST RING.

Hey Earl, I manage MTRs (most of them in NC/SC but a handful elsewhere).

in my experience, if its a "average sized home" i take that as a 3/2 or 4/3, 4/4 etc that number of 30k is very close. 20k low end, 30k high and of course you can get stupid beyond that.cant comment on the financial return as to much missing info as others have said but if it rings true of 1k per month, potential 3 year return is accurate 

its horrible. no one answers the phone. they promise an easy refund if the lead never answers after 21 days, if the number is wrong/ doesn't ring/ among other reasons you can find in their refund policy.however, they will deny you when you try and get your refund. i had one lead where the number doesn't even ring, and another where the person never answered within the timeframe. they denied my request for a refund, although it completely fit their refund policy. i believe less than 8% of refunds requested are ever refunded. horrible experience.

I live on the beach in FL and do all my biz OOS, MY phone seldom rings. 

Has a better ring to it.
