It makes sense but it might be a little too much for my taste. 

It would be nice if they could at least set up an open house once a week that anyone could attend before they have to fill out anything. 2) Advertisement of the rentals is usually not as aggressive as it could be and their screening criteria is sometimes too high for my personal taste because I would rather have someone in a property who will probably pay rent than no one at all especially in areas where demand is not as high. 3) Hiring of contractors to do repairs.

At least for my taste. 

Personally I have a bad taste in my mouth from investing in Michigan going through realtors and property managers that are only out there to get your money.

I have a bad taste for MS devices/products in general so I'm not sure if I'll ever get one but I am considering it.

It had very nice finishes, granite counter tops, garden level windows let in lots of natural light, new paint and carpet, modern sliding doors, tasteful bathroom (granite, rock floor in shower, high quality tile in shower, fancy sink), and huge, 1400 sf 2-br 1-ba.

Thats also typically only 65% of purchase price.You flipped out of yours faster than I usually do (my average seems to be 100 days) I just can't handle the points.If i ever lose the taste for flipping i'm sure it will be for the purpose of lending hard money.

Rent-to-own has a negative taste to it, most are scams and the others are made poorly even with good intentions.

I think $50 is a bit high for my taste, but I do think there is something to be said for general good will.

In the upper market segment, it's a different story because buyers there have different tastes and like those types of finishes.
