Regarding the ceiling fan, you might have something in your lease regarding the tenants failure to report a maintenance issue (the blade doesn't typically fly off, it was either lose and shaking for a while or it was hit by something and damaged).If I were in your shoes, and I probably will be someday with another crazy tenant, I would replace the fan right away, with a flush-mount light.

It's like buying a mattress - if you dont know anything about it, you are getting screwed over. i hate dealing with tenants about the carpet during their move out process....installed a new carpet last year. now they are moving out and the carpet is stained (not spills, but like they never took their shoes off). most likely it was a cheap carpet, but what do i know?

Burn some shoe leather and get out there, that is the way to make deals happen quickly.

Walk in the shoes of the target market.

We wore clothes with holes in them and shoes that were worn out years earlier.

Now that my systems are in place, anything going forward will be done much quicker.Once I get my first deal done, then yeah, I'm absolutely going to out-source that, as well as the whole virtual assistant thing, but until I have the influx of capital, everything's on a shoe-string budget, and as a direct result, will be slow-going.

But I would also tell you, that I crms are pretty lousy in general, and it seems that even the most popular applications fall short for many people most of the time.If I were in your shoes, I would definatly make myself aware of what was out there, and then ask myself if the cost was worth learning to "play in someone else's playground".Then I would tell you to explore the possibility of developing your own.

Same tenants who take their shoes off by the entry door when they come inside.

Wear out some shoe leather, I know it's the old fashioned way, but it works.

It could be liget and it could well be a sham, and probably from the listing agent playing games, caal the on it, stick to your price and move on, make them shoe any option or take them down.
