When I last filled my unit I used Cozy.co for the application process and it was very easy.

I filled out applications for both and the broker was lower. 

I spend plenty of my free time studying up on my market and other areas but even doing that I have plenty of time to fill.

The new mid and high rise apartments coming on line are offering huge discounts and freebies to get those units filled. 

Your chances of someone buying it is 100 % better if it is cash flowing opposed to vacant & them trying to fill the vacancy once they purchase said property.

Here's what my PM does for me:1 - Fills vacancies2 - Handles the advertising3 - Does the interviewing including background checks, credit checks, rental histories, income verification, NSF check research, etc...4 - Does the inspections5 - Does the walkthru before and after6 - Guarantees the first 6 months of a tenant they placed, or they refill the property at their cost7 - Handles all problems, including maintenance...with no markup charges8 - Handles all incoming calls and emails, so the tenant has no idea who we are9 - Contacts, and extends lease at no extra charge to us10 - Knows market, so gets us the highest possible rents11 - 35 years of experience as a full time PM service12 - Will garnish wages if needed13 - Handles entire eviction process (keeping us up to date), from beginning of letters of notice to court....to eviction.  

Perhaps I am too new to this field and am filled with too many wafty ideals, but until a pending reality tackles me down, I'll chase this motivation until it turns into a success story.    

Keep it mind a good CPA provides the most value by providing tax planning and strategy, only part of it is filling out a tax return correctly (although very important of course).

HUD/ local section 8 or are tenants able to qualify & pay- average vacancy rate & average time to fill apartment Sorry for the laundry list, hopefully someone experienced in these and other D areas can enlighten me.

It seems odd you'd have to actually fill the system that often. somewhere or some how you must have a leak in the system to lose that much water.
