I will grab both of those books and stir it into my morning routine. 

This is causing me issues because I have to take time off work to clean, and new tenants are pushed back on their move in time to the evening. 

I clean it, take the clients, manage bookings, do the repairs.My CPA says no way its a business if I'm not working 520 house a year on it..

We just request guests not let pets on the furniture...which some don't listen...and charge a competitive pet fee to cover any extra cleaning or damages.

The good news is that the financial metrics you've read about are universal and not at all country specific.The bad news is that Germany may just not be a good cash-flow market, compared to the U.S.But then, few markets are.That's why you find so many Germans and Australians and Spaniards and others trying so hard to find great deals in the U.S.And, even in the States, there are plenty of sub-markets where properties routinely fail the so-called "1% rule."

In a competitive market like Los Angeles, it is essential to have a clean fully underwritten approval before submitting any offers.

. - Have had to sit down all five tenants and reset expectations in terms of cleaning (including the 68 year old co-worker).3.

Let them out if they continue to work with you to keep the place clean and allow showings so you can find a new tenant.

(to harass my plumber/contractor) (The plumber left me hanging a few years ago so he fixed the problem for free, she has NO need for his contact info)  I sent her pictures of the damage and offered her the $50 cleaning fee back.  

The PM coordinates cleanings, repairs, maintenance, mowing the lawn, etc.These transactions would involve a TIC.
