Now, when you have over forty tenants that don't work and rely on Section 8 checks to make rent then introducing yourself as the owner of this building is not good practice to me.

They were easy money-makers right from the start.

Elkton’s neighbor, Massanutten Resort, is roughly 5 miles west and boasts an indoor waterpark, golf, skiing/snowboarding, and year-round events for the entire family.

That way the tenant just needs to their luggage and coffee maker on lease signing day. 

I was thinking our 1,800 ft sq 3/2 with lots of outdoor patio space would need a lot of furniture - indoor and outdoor. 

About 24,000 s.f. with a 25 meter indoor pool and a full size gymnasium that has two basketball courts.

And the big rental complexes that charge large rents have a lot of amenities like a gym / in door pool / dog walking / ectt that people use to justify the large rents.Personally, I would not go for this.

Two weeks in, you're going to get requests to repair a crack in the driveway, buff out a cosmetic stain on the hardwood, replace a perfectly fine coffee maker that doesn't have a timer for the morning etc. 

There are many crib makers who provide customization choices.

I was undecided on going though a market maker, or a broker that directly connects.
