It's your job to educate yourself on what a good PM looks like and weed out the bad ones, just like you would weed out bad tenants with a comprehensive screening process.I'm the only property manager in my county that charges a leasing fee or lease renewal fee.

One thing they're leaving out is a simple law of economics - supply and demand.The fact is that there are new households forming every year.There have been no new houses built in the last 6 years and the pace of building today is at near-historical lows - and definitely not enough to keep up with the number of households being created that need homes.And then add to that the fact that there are a lot of people still under water on their mortgages that can't sell and it should come as no surprise that there currently is less supply than there is demand right now.

Here's how it works in Oregon so may or may not apply where you're at ...there's public access which basically gives you ability to view current active listings and then there's realtor access (much more comprehensive ... ability to view actives, pendings, solds, expireds, tax info, pricing history, do detailed searches, etc)... this access requires a real estate license and paying dues ... best bet if you want access and don't want to pay to get your license and all the affiliated ongoing dues, become friends with a real estate agent ...

Consider the following statistics:- Average number of people in american household: 2.6- Confidence level that there is a household with 2.6 people living in it: 0%

This represents the amount the company will pay if your belongings are lost or damaged while in its care.Interstate movers are required to offer two types of valuation coverage, Full Value Protection and Released Value Protection.It’s important to understand the difference between the two and you’ll find an explanation on the FMCSA’s website.Check your homeowners insurance policy to determine if your household items are protected under it during a move.If not, you may want to look into purchasing third-party liability insurance, especially if you’ll be moving high-value items.3.
