@Cheryl Butler I talked myself into being overly emotional.

Butler: Hey BP Community!

@Cheryl Butler I personally include rehab/repair cost in the calculation.

I am looking at a SFH in Lawrence and was surprised to find that Neighborhood Scout estimates the vacancy rate there at 14% - about the same that it gave me for Butler-Tarkington (12 - 14%). 

For instance, Butler County has very high school district millage rates compared to Allegheny County, typically about five times higher.

Just... get the book from the library and don't pay to go to any conferences, etc.Landlording on Autopilot (Mike Butler) - The best book on how to own and manage rental properties.

In other words its like Clue..Was it the butler in the kitchen with the butcher knife or the broker in the office with the letter opener.

I know Mike Butler (Landlording on Autopilot) recommends including in your lease agreements that a service call that is due to an issue that is the tenant's responsibility (and he gives examples of which ones those are) will be charged a service call fee (like 25 bucks) + repair costs.
