Also, as neighbors they had also were social and cordial with tenants over the years.What can also help with you on estimating cost is seeing how much each unit is worth per each unit sq. ft.

Social Media is a great way to get the word out.

I'm not talking about someone who puts their dog on a tether run for an hour to get a little air, I am talking about the 24/7 chained dogs with virtually no socialization or human interaction.

The tenants applying at my place completely trashed her place.Facebook and social media is a great source as well.

I do have social media management experience though and had planned on doing a lot of the marketing myself!

Unless there is a goal of contributing more to retirement accounts, or making sure one of you has enough credits into Social Security it is generally a bad idea to take passive income and make it active subject to SE Tax.  

BTW, social media marketing doesn't really sell That particular house, there is always something different about the house, it generates potential buyers for the agent......just like open houses.

Yup you bet I missed every holiday this year, worked many 100+ hour weeks, and basically lost my social life.

I put my entire life on hold from a social standpoint and passed all 4 sections first try...under 6 months start to finish.

Kurt Hines Thanks for the advice, I know that in order to be successful I have to be social with others more experienced than I am.
