We got our partners by talking to a bunch of them and finding the ones willing to be on the cutting edge.

Can you get a roommate now, cut spending, get a second job? 

To do that I could cut a hole in the dry wall and turn it 90 degrees so people can use it from the hallway but there is a light switch for a nearby bathroom in the way so that would need to be moved into the bathroom as well.

We cut owners all the time who do this or ones who scream at me, our staff or just call us up to crap on us if something wasn't done how they wanted it.

If a tree branch is over the property line the person who owns the air rights has the right to cut the limb, unless it is a tree in a protected area. 

i would stick to upto 4 units not to cut out the house hacker buyer pool 

The FED keeps hinting at rate cuts but once they make their first cut, the market will probably start falling because it means the economy has slowed.

To protect their time and try to, you know make some money, many PMCs that do placements for less than one-month of rent, cut corners like:- Not putting it on the MLS or offering a ridiculously low split to other agents, so those agents do NOT show the property.- Only doing showings at specific days & times, leading to longer vacancies- Requiring prospects to fill out applications first, before scheduling a showing to protect their time invested/wasted (which turns off some prospects, leading to longer vacancies).- Charging owners for pics- Charing inflated application fees to make, you know, some money for their time spent- Some even charge tenants MoveIn Fees and other charges to make money.So, don't be short-sighted and expect PMCs to work for free!

I just post a reply to a very old thread so I am just going to cut and past it here.
