I had a lady who would routinely get in fights with her boyfriend, and after he or she would damage doors by kicking them they'd expect me to fix it for free.

I also, and this is just me, think that if a property routinely rents to the first person who views it (and that person is super excited about what a good deal it is) it's underpriced.

My life is a little chaotic and unpredictable these days but despite that, it's helped me establish consistency, a healthy routine, and everything is on track with the investment goal :) Really recommend it!

My advice:Get a business plan of where you want to be and work backwards to layout the steps needed to get there.Get your systems and tech in place now, so its routine and you can scale with ease. 

That may sound like a decent return, but I am paying ~ $100/month for trash and water, $560 on tax/PMI/insurance/principal/interest, plus about another $100/month on routine maintenance and upgrades. 

Here is my routine: I introduce myself and my client, talk about weather.

Contractor is my regular HVAC guy and he knows the routine.

If the condo board makes an assessment like the OP describes against each owner for a routine maintenance item like ocean sea air degradation to exterior, then the owner would be out of pocket and have no choice.

Also, with tenants make sure to get everything in writing (i.e. lease, even routine maintenance items that you fix in their unit).

And that the author recommended saying something like RENT = 1300EARLY PAYMENT DISCOUNT = 300EARLY PAYMENT MEANS 15 DAYS before rent is due.There for, if the tenant routinely pays the rent 15 days prior to its due date, then they get a discount ....The other upsides are that the SECURITY DEPOSIT and LAST MONTHS rents quantity is higher.Is anyone doing this?
