And I wouldn't feel uncomfortable living in the house, it doesn't seem like a bad spot other than being a little worn out. 

My tenant says she's uncomfortable sharing laundry facilities.  

Most bankers never bothered meeting me, said no, hung up, and most realtors never returned my call, but having a hotel room for only 3 weeks, I forced myself into an uncomfortable situation, that I just knew I had to get thru one way or another.

Real estate is one of the last great free-market environments. everything is negotiable, and some providers are better than others, meaning they offer more complete/sophisticated service and response, wider marketing exposure, etc.I compete routinely against both higher than 5% and lower than 10% management rates and anywhere from one month's rent for a leasing fee, to half that. 

I would walk from this deal if you are uncomfortable.  

I agree about the areas but they are already rented to section -8 so apart from routine calls which PM would be handling, I dont have to go there.

I have been a silent reader/listener on a not-at-all routine basis for roughly a year, and looking forward to now joining the BP network!  

If you're talking about fixing driveways, roofs, and decks, then winter is uncomfortable at best.  

I have bank records that show the routine deposits from each rental, I have tax docs that prove the income for the one property, I have lease agreements (though one is coming due), I have reserves built up... so I really think I have my bases covered.  

We address routine maintenance issues, but the property was in pretty poor shape and we failed our first ever REAC inspection this summer.
