The vacant lot owner can't do anything with that land, so they should be willing to sell it for cheaper than market rate.

I can only speculate but I suspect she either met someone she's moving in with, or decided she wants to move to a cheaper place, nicer place, or is buying a home.

Unless you buy into the fancy overpriced properties (a minority), properties like-for-like are much cheaper than in North America and the building quality is either the same or even superior;2.

Adjust accordingly! 

Agree with the above posts; you can find cheaper options than ring or nest.

BTW $1000 sounds like a LOT OF $$$ Oh interesting, are the maintenance techs in-house employees, or are they contracted but at a cheaper rate? 

I've used other property management softwares before I switched over to Baselane and the debit/credit card fee is actually a little cheaper than other softwares. 

So, they don't owe you anything and you should probably be grateful for any amount they gave you.1) It's probably cheaper for them to offer you "hush money" to keep quiet vs suing you for libel.

My real question is about managment because the reality is Im looking for a property on the cheaper end that i can drop 15000 into and have some cash flow and have managed 

IMO, there are better and cheaper ways to do it.
