Then, car count through seasonal variations.  

Some services have a free trial.   

I've never tried it but they do have a free 30 day trial.

I agree with Ali that if you do not want to self manage your own places that you want to find a better management company.It might take some trial and error but you at least know what a crappy one looks like so you have some better interview questions for the next one!

Like he said, much variation.

I would give it a trial period!

Did someone tell you that he offers great service or was it through trial and error or experience over time?

And as long as a claim is partially covered, it generally won't matter unless you go to trial and lose - which almost never happens (the going to trial part).My suggestion is that every landlord should talk to their insurance agent to find out exactly what is and what isn't covered under their policy.

You have a paper trial in case the Realtor does not do what they are saying they will do by the time they are saying it.They can't just walk around with a check from you in their pocket and "get around sometime" to returning it to you.

, but something I've found true my entire adult life is that you don't have to know everything, just know the next step and who needs to be involved in that step (or some variation on that paraphrase).
