Unfortunately, you need to learn with tenants, you let them cross the line on stuff, it never gets better until you put your foot down.If they were Sec 8, did their case-worker know the tenant is supposed to pay for utilities?  

I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

I'm in Windsor Locks (15 mins south of the CT / MA border) and could probably come up with a few things.

I'd call the REA (real estate agency) in your state since they regulate broker behavior.Yes, that did cross a line.  

Best of luck with your rental and let me know if you ever have any interest in Wisconsin as I am right on the border here!

If you file an extension to pay taxes late, if you don't track expenses in an orderly fashion, if you think buying and selling real estate is more fun than crossing T's and dotting i's then you don't have the personality to properly maintain an LLC and it isn't worth it for you.Generally, until you have Equity that you want to protect, you don't need an LLC anyway.

The thought has crossed my mind.

This time around, in addition to checking with my own PM, I would cross reference the rent they suggested with what was advertised on Zillow, trulia, hotpads, other PM websites, and I would call various PM companies to ask what similarly sized homes in the given neighborhood rent for.

Then you have to clean up the data based on who you want to target (i.e. people who bought their house a long time ago, cross referenced to probate, divorce records, or lis pendens...single family, multifamily - there are dozens of ways you can clean up and filter the data).2.
