I was connected to them by someone i trusted so i blindly trusted them in return.Now that I am getting ready to get a third one, I decided I need some sort of contract and scope of work.

We only hire out the bathroom remodels, as we have learned to paint, rip up old carpet, install Allure, change light fixtures and hang faux wood blinds.  

They are often horrible tenants that will dangle that out there to blind you to the other shortcomings they will have.... horrible credit....an eviction...... a previous landlord that will rip them....and on and on.

If you do go, it's because you have a sick relative somewhere who needs to see you before they go on to glory -- the best kind of story for that is an expensive one, like a blind half-brother with a rare blood disease who is only free of constant pain in this one remote high-altitude institute in the Cascades...something so outlandish no one would make it up that at the same time implicitly explains why you need the rent checks to be on time.

Tenants are hard on the little things like fans, blinds, screens and they add up.  

With that said, don't blindly use the average and mean rents that it provides without looking at the data that it was calculated from.

I’m not blind to the fact that he’s got a huge mountain to scale.  

If it is as bad as you say, don't forget to change out the blinds, wash all windows, ect..

I tend to think that they are renting out close to market because the landlord turns a blind eye to the fact that there are 7+ people living in units suited for 2-4 people.
