It’s sad to see several of my tenants milking the system off tax payers backs.

As I've been skimming different MLS sites and emailing listing agents, I'm being asked for offers to be submitted "in writing with proof of funds."

I skimmed through hundreds of properties on MLS.

What is your plan for "managing the manager" to ensure they aren't skimming your late fees/vacant units or giving kick backs to their cousin the plumber? 

@Samuel Glantzyour market is not that expensive compare to Hawaii.try this 2 bed single family lower rent is $1500- $2,000.Price you will not find 2 bed less than 500k..i mean never.That's the reason i want to come to your town and invade your city.loli have in-laws in Peoria....i love it there...gallon of milk there is from $1.99 to $3.Here in hawaii $9.00 to $11.So i'm coming to your friendly neighborhood.Thanksjoe

They milked the bill.

Is a property manager skimming a little extra off the top by reporting a higher vacancy (Most reputable property management firms would never do this, but I've seen enough horror stories to make me consider it!)?

Just skimming the subtitles, it seems like a few areas are definitely a snooze.

Had I used a property management company and paid them 8% of rent in fees and 3 times the expenses in maintenance (15% of the rent) because they are sloppy and probably milking the landlords (the usual assumptions folks have), the cumulative profits would've been 435K.

If they left it in good condition I chalk it up to they simply could not pay but if they trashed place or tried to milk not paying when they could have then I definitely would.
