You could be below market to the "average" unit in the zip code but if you're in the glide path of the airport with jets are taking off every 5 minutes, the Taco Bell parking lot lights shine right in the windows, freeway exit is two houses away, a busy fire station is nearby with sirens all night long, etc then the price may still be too high.Are there any safety issues that could be helped with lights, cameras, etc?

Kind of like going to artist receptions or open houses for free food & booze.If you're really considering hiring a CPA who offers a free consultation, then it's exactly how it's meant work.

If it tends to be for a pretty set time frame it may be more of a tutoring/teaching type of situation.I tend to stay out of my tenants' business unless it involves safety of the neighbors or some kind of major crime, so yes, drug dealing would fall into that but most lower level dealers will have more than 1 customer and many high level ones who might only have one visitor are not as likely to have them daily.

When I confronted them, they defended their quote, stating that they go off the industry standard and a portion of the labor time is for "testing the system after repairs to ensure safety."

So he wants a camera on his car for safety reasons and it just happens to get the other unit in the picture....

She wouldn't want them getting lifted or damaged.Probably need to move out all her food and various other things like extra cleaning supplies etc.

You typically don't want to do any renovations before the 2 years is up...just basic safety and securing the property.#4. 

That's outside of their scope.All this to say, what PMs account for financially for you is very limited and far from the full picture.Just food for thought.Hope it helps!

In actuality, I think it poses a safety risk to the neighborhood.

This way they don’t have to uphold the properties or care for the health and safety of their tenants because they know people are desperate and likely won’t be able to afford a lawyer.
