However, I read some bad reviews about them. 10% service fee from landlord, plus 8% from tenants.

They did some nice work but were some bad tenants.

I truly feel bad for people who have to work instead of investing in real estate, especially those with kids.

$150/mo - $300/mo is bad or good cash flow depending on how much cash you put into the deal.$150 x 12 months = $1,800If you put $45,000 into real estate as a down payment, you are looking at a 4% cash on cash return.I would consider this decent.If you put $20,000 into the deal, the cash on cash return is higher and its better.If you put $200,000 into the deal, the cash on cash return is lower and considered worse.However, cash on cash return is not the only return you should consider, you should also consider appreciation.My benchmark is trying to achieve atleast an 8% return between appreciation and cash flow.Best of luck!

It cost him a few hundred bucks, but she was happy, and more importantly, he didn’t have to deal with an expensive lawsuit or bad online reviews.Here’s what I’d recomend doing:Check Your Legal Standing: Since the fence isn’t in her lease and not part of the surveyed property, you’re probably in the clear to remove it.

Buying a house near the comps would be a bad deal since they would be buying at a premium.

Basically - I want a PM who keeps the property in good shape and occupied to get paid, and a PM who is either bad at maintaining properties and finding good tenants, or just really unlucky, to not get paid.- PM charges 8% of rent, which escalates to 10% if the property exceeds 95% occupancy with rent collection. - PM charges minimal fees.- PM is contractually obligated to perform annual maintenance/inspection to keep property in top shape. - PM provides a cash based accounting report every month, for every unit under management, that clearly labels all rent, all expenses, including management fees, and the net directly ties to the amount of money deposited into my bank account.- PM is a licensed handyman, or has them on staff, and takes care of most unit turn work at a reasonable rate. - PM has no breakup/termination fee- PM does not take project management fees, except on large or complicated CapEx projects exceeding $5,000. 

A 40K rehab doesn't sound too bad either.

The findings are particularly interesting for those focused on the Columbus, Ohio market, which topped the list for both two-bedroom and three-bedroom rental searches.The report also notes a shift towards more apartment searches, influenced by the scarcity of single-family homes and rising interest rates.

You are a BAD MAN, V.G.
