We actually own and operate a high-end luxury home cleaning business.We hired professional cleaners upon move-out & also had the carpets professionally cleaned at 6 months living there and again upon move-out and used proper chemicals and a professional power washer to clean any oil stains from the driveway we may have caused with our old work vehicle.Our landlord charged us the following odd, ridiculous charges:$3.33 To empty out the ice from the freezer ice maker $1.08 To screw a lightbulb in the bathroom vanity$30.00 To remove a nice black metal paper towel holder we had put in the kitchen cabinet$6.67 To fill and paint a tiny minuscule hole barely visible to the naked eye in the kitchen pantry door$3.00 For a smoke detector battery$3.33 To remove a small piece of duct tape from a wall switch in the kitchen we had placed there because every time someone flipped the switch accidentally it would turn the dishwasher off.

Maker sure to share all of your experiences to date so that others can learn from them!

Think about it for a second.There is a dump of 20 mobile houses to low income tenants many being transient and trouble makers.

You gotta have something that no other house has. indoor pool, huge garage, movie theater, tennis court, etc...

I come from a family of generations of bad financial decision makers.  

You can also structure it as a hypothecation and assign servicing, this allows you to collect payments from the maker of the secured obligation, again, without having to assign the note to you with an obligation to sell or assign the note back at the end of your rights to payments.

A good example was a 4-BDRM, mountainview, with indoor pool being rented by the PM for $400 for 3 nights with 4th night free (during slowdown there were many similiar ads).

Just by looking at the property I would factor in a bit more for the repair/make rent ready.

Painting in the winter sucks for the contractors - siding they can at least do the prep work and cutting indoors when it's cold.

I oversee facilities and operations for the entire portfolio that runs from NC down to FL, as well as managing new development, most recently including ground up development of a multi-tenant building and 3 large indoor secured self storage centers.
