I have suggested licensing the STR properties with a nominal fee and a 2 year renewal period.

@Marshall HenrySince you are living there and you are stuck with your neighbor, I personally would consider it more important to get along with the neighbor than a nominal amount of money for trash containers.

And rarely do stabs at measuring affordability use real vs. nominal dollars.

Purchasing a 500K vs 400K property will most likely result in more nominal cashflow but (sometimes) a lower cash on cash ROI.

Profit could be nominal but still needs to be something. this is not tax advice, I am not a tax advisor seek your CPA. 

I can sympathize, trust me.The Ricoh and your T5i have the same nominal cropped sensor, the APS-C, so we start by figuring out that the Ricoh has the 23.5x15.6mm version while the T5i has the Canon version, 22x14.8mm. 

Basically you should figure to replace all of the mechanical electrical plumbing lot of places are laughing plaster with no insulation true 2x4 construction which is nominal sizing.

Does anyone have a company that will do escrow processing and collection for a nominal fee?

The previous landlord's garbage system was the following:Each tenant is responsible for taking their garbage/recycling to the outside bins and then they were paying one of the tenants a nominal amount to take everything to the curb at the appropriate time.This system seems to put all the responsibility on the tenant being paid to keep it all neat and tidy but since the other tenants don't care the garbage is frequently a mess and everybody is complaining despite the fact that its everyone's fault.
