It would be highly preferable to have these split, but if the cost of renovation is too high, will bite the bullet and bake heating and hot water into the tenant's rents.The current boiler room is on the ground floor, so can convert this into a bedroom should we find an alternative We have narrowed down the options to the following:1.

I'm Experienced in screening tenants, Ive got all the docs. how has you're experience with a flat fee listing service been?

Each thing ties together to optimize a deal.Hrere’s another one we just tried and it worked like a charm:  we found a company that will list our property on MLS for a flat fee ($150).... it let us bypass a selling agent expense, saving us 3% in selling commissions.  

If its going in a lower end unit you can get away with a cheaper flat or eggshell and repaint often.

Conversely, I went into the screening and selection process of my first tenancy knowing how crucial it was, put forth the required effort to make a great (not just good) advertisement, set up processes for screening, and wound up finding an amazing tenant with an almost perfect credit score, pays rent at least 15 days early each month, and bakes me loaves of banana bread on occasion "just because". 

We were lucky to find these flat parcels right across the street from the Sacramento River. 

Do a flat fee? 

. $50k isn't a ton but the draw here is there are no commission splits I get 100% of everything I just have to pay a $150 flat monthly fee or $1,800 per year. 

I am about to walk away from the deal but wanted to see if anyone had experience working with this type of situation in the Southside flats area?

Does the cleaning crew charge a flat rate or do they charge per job?
