For one, although the foreclosures are stacking up, from what I hear the banks and REOs are going to need to be smart about releasing them.

If it turns out to need closer to $40k then we would break even after realtor commissions.

@teddysmith, are you able to speak to how many units on average the property owners you speak to need management for?

I would assume most lenders are going to need the typical credit, income, and personal info to learn more about you.

Great neutrals that go well with tan or gray tones

Thankfully, not bad enough to need new floors, but I wasn't pleased. 

The most obvious reason I like it is that it’s convenient and I don’t have to move a muscle to get paid.

If you know that something major is going to need replacement in the future, increase the monthly amount you are depositing into your reserve fund.

If you’re self insuring you’re probably going to need a lawyer and it might turn out to be cheaper and make the claim.

This is the 7 step process I use when handling tenant disputes: 1) Open Communication: Contact your tenant in a friendly tone, acknowledging their positive qualities as a tenant.2) Explain the Issue: Describe the problem with the unpaid electricity bill and its impact on your credit score.3) Propose a Solution: Suggest sharing the prorated amount for the period when they were in the property as a fair resolution.4) Highlight Timely Communication: Emphasize the importance of promptly informing each other about such matters in the future.5) Reiterate Appreciation: Remind them of your appreciation for their positive contributions to the property.6) Listen to Their Perspective: Be open to hearing their side of the story.7) Document the Agreement: If an agreement is reached, document it in writing for clarity.
