Hope this sheds some light on the differences of service between them and an actual full service PM Company.I will also add, the second VRBO we ended up staying in had NO smart TV';s and they were out within the hour to install ROKU and then a week into staying there, the upstairs flooded the downstairs, we called Pinnacle MGMT on a Sunday at 530PM and they had someone out in 40 minutes.

The renter, who is sketchy to begin with, called my PM and said, "I'm not paying rent for this month (was due on the 15th) or any other month, because the news I was just watching on TV told me not to. 

GDP Since April of 2008 (in inflation-adjusted dollars) has risen a paltry 4.36% (that's over a period of seven years).I'm not an economist and I don't play one on TV.

This is known as "the derivatives market" as best I can tell, and this market is multiple times larger now than it was last time the economy crashed.Further, I can't go even one day without hearing an ad on the radio, or internet, or TV for new low percent down home loans or even zero down from new builders. 

many people move to better their position.. why do you think so many people come from all over the world to Canada and US.. to better their position.I have had many clients who came here with nothing actually  less than nothing ,  did not even speak the language and are multi millionaires  not over night ,  but by using their work ethic which surpass's many of us americans.WV is the only state in the US I have never set foot in.. so I don't really know more than I see on TV and it looks pretty depressed.. so a change of scenery might be in order.but your so young 21..

Prior to purchasing my first rental, I had read many books and listened to / watch many informercials on tv about investing in Real Estate. 

Most will need electric and internet/tv paid for as well so always include those in the rental services.

Down time as per what the guys set like, after 11 pm no loud TV, or music.

Just like on those TV renovation shows, as my first tenant pulled into the driveway on August 22nd, I was under the sink completing the last plumbing connection.

They are the same voltage (120volts) as what's going to your TV or clock radio.
