@Patrick Philip I use a flat fee MLS listing servic. $449 and I have the house listed on the MLS.

If I hired a PM that would also take care of collections (among other things) would I still need a service like rent redi?

I have it in my lease specifically that even though utilities are "included" there are caps on the monthly amount I will pay and the tenant will be billed for anything above that amount.

I converted to AppFolio several months ago, and the settings have never been correct.

I take it you've used her services? 

I would 100% stay go with the professional service because at the end of the day the tenants will not repair it like a professional will but on the other hand would that be legal in your area??????

The July 2024 report from the Austin Board of REALTORS® (ABoR) shows housing prices in Austin and the greater metro have been stable over the past 12 months.

Or the buyer could just miss a notice that the loan has been transferred to a new loan servicing company (as they do, loan servicing companies are terrible IME), and miss some payments by accident, again negatively affecting your credit.

Did that for about 4-5 months and sold 3 houses before I went home for summer break and decided to transfer schools.
