If your agent isn't knowedgable they can over or undersell you and that will affect your costs.An umbrealla policy was reccomended to me by my agent (a family member) and in general I think it is a really good idea and usually a  pretty cheap option for risk mitigation.I don't have a specific company to reccomend but hopefully this was helpful.

She is a bit demanding but I took advice and have been trying to be extra kind and helpful.

Usually take up a large amount of land so imposes on more homes for comparable sales within the normal mileage/boundaries.

I try not to mix friends/family and business, history usually proves it doesn't work out.

I usually glance as the vacancies but don't actually create KPIs for this metric.  

A razor knife around it cutting the paint and some elbow grease usually get it moving, then address springs or weights on them plus some soap on side helps it slide. 

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

It usually works out that way, or i end up coming up with a smaller amount in cash to supplement.The property: I have a duplex that i purchased in Washington end of last year.

They want to sell the notes at par (even ones closed 2 years ago at 8% vs 15% today) which makes it even harder for me to do without the put option, but my thoughts are that they already have the sales channel in place & have already sold that piece of land before, so it is overall a net gain if they sell it.I hadnt considered the extra complexity & especially liquidity from their perspective & needing to account for it, so that is a good point.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?
