My biggest question when I was researching all the programs was "If these people are so successful at what they do, why are they charging so much for all of this and always trying to upsell?" 

Charge market rent. 

How is PM charging you if the agreement is over?

If you are not out by the deadline or the property is damaged, this agreement will be void, and the Landlord will pursue legal means to evict and collect all unpaid rents, plus any other charges owed."

I would get a couple of other opinions on the quotes that are coming in and what you are being charged.

I am particularly concened about the water meters not being hooked up and potential charges there. 

so just sayin  I dont get how this can be a business model other than for the person charging for the training .  ???

All the add-ons are a la carte so you can definitely get a lot of value based on what you need.One thing I personally don't like is that when tenants pay rent, they are charged $1 per transaction for ACH use.

As you know, marketing and price are both very important, and vacancy will significantly impact your income, so you are almost always better off charging a lower price and getting it filled with a good tenant.  

The man dies and left no will and the state took charge of it because of Masshealth bill.
