I currently pay the water and internet bill out of pocket and only request rent and the electric bill be paid for by the tenants.

Sure, if you are a house flipper you have a buy box, but formulas and calculators are the one thing holding back new investors right now because they spend all of their time plugging in numbers from the internet into a program on the internet instead of getting reps in the field and learning what the different basements smell like between 200k and 300k.

I just sent a message to my property management company now asking if it's customary for them to list the rental on MLS.Also, regarding the rental price; Not only have I completed the lanai mesh, installed blinds and added a whole-house water conditioning system, but I'm also including the Internet connection and the security system in the advertised asking price which I believe should be worth it. 

Internet is a bad place to try to find out about license requirements and trust them.. 

If mom and pop did poor marketing and you bring in professional-grade internet SEO and other methods you could theoretically double your revenue in one year without any additional cap-x.

I made some nice curb appeal improvements, added parking spot rentals, added the U-haul dealer, improved internet presence, advertised in local papers and are affiliated with MySpareFoot.

Poor little Bob-- complaining because some woman that 'you don't even know' was mean to you on the internet. 

Ok...this person needs to quit drinking coffee with caffeine and, should probably stay off the internet for a while.

And that's fine, too.There is an apartment operator that has multiple real estate cycles of experience (decades) with no money lost, low 65% less LTV, and high 10%+ skin in the game.They market under 506B so are prohibited from posting publicly on the Internet and instead function by referrals.

Someone on the internet has a different opinion.
