It is mid year and this tenants mom (co-signer) wrote the following note;I am writing to formally request the early termination of my child's lease at location in San Jose due to a medical illness that renders him unable to continue attending college.

Just curios, were you trying to refinance it and that is when you discovered it is not an actual triplex?

With my LTRs I have been switching to all tenant paid utilities after my first winter where I discovered the majority of my tenants were setting the heat at 78 (which is unreasonable in Northern New Hampshire) and leaving their windows open in -20 degree weather.

And while yes, no one has the same pricing (combination of factors), I also continue to check on a regular basis our rankings and how we "present" on total costs per stay vs. our competitors.My gut says there is price creep and we might have a ways to go before the market really corrects.

I tried to provide constructive feedback on why it was not worth continuing with RentRedi and all the sudden I couldn't type anymore (it was about 3-4 sentences I got cut off). 

You may find this a viable option with rates where they are, especially if your rental income continues to cover the mortgage.Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): If your property qualifies, you could use a HELOC to access the equity without disturbing the current mortgage.

There's a big disconnect in Detroit's home prices vs the progress there, and I believe it will continue to close.

Even after moving 2.5 years ago, I continued to self-manage because I had a solid network of connections that made it pretty easy to handle remotely.That said, it eventually came down to wanting my time back.

The second company had a PM contract and due to other reasons we did not continue their services after a couple of months so tax stuff did not arise.

@Ricky Smith if you continue to expand, how will you hire help w/o a PMC set up?
