There's an added bonus of cleaner water in collection.

The property is equipped with modern amenities including forced air heating and central air conditioning, ensuring year-round comfort for tenants.

I have air dna to look for my own deals. 

I will post the live link in here so anyone can come and help you.I invite you both to come on with me, air your gripes for newbies, and explain where in the initial post you felt attacked.

Those on-site teams would be primarily made up of cleaners and handymen, who in remote locations would also serve as my eyes on the property for any potential issues. 

Have you considered potential for an air bnb investment?

We installed a Carrier Furnace & Air Conditioner in a house that was under contract but not closed yet.

For example a new house might have central air where an old house has tenant provided window a/c so the maintenance cost is shifted to the tenant.

In my limited experience, they add no real value to the process, and like you said, don't really know costs, and while ARV is fairly easy to determine, they are always aggressive on those, too.So, how do you not get taken to the cleaner?
