@Tom Campbell I use a system called roi muse, I have put in the offer price financing terms and expenses on based on what seller has told me and other collected data.

Aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published to 10+ major sites, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening with comprehensive applications -- pulled reports from TransUnion, which include nationwide criminal background checks + credit checks + eviction history, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool, and maintenance tracking tool), some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

 $2000 in legal costs later the owner of lot one settled and I got all the rent he collected on my storage units for 8 months of my ownership, and I got control of my units. 

Most anyone can, but it all you want to do is sit back and collect rent checks, hiring a PM might be a better plan.

I’m a solo broker no agents under me.He’s NOT paying the broker fee but I’m free to rent them out and pretty much do anything I want with the units as long as he collects rent for units rented he is fine.

House Moves Forward on Vacation Rental Bill The effort to bring short-term rentals under state control could help ensure that advertised rentals on sites like Airbnb are licensed and collect and remit taxes.TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – For the first time, online platforms such as Airbnb would have to collect and remit taxes on vacation rental properties, ensure that only properly licensed rentals are advertised and provide the state with specific information about the rentals, under a proposal headed to the House floor.In exchange, short-term rental regulation would be “pre-empted” to the state, largely preventing local governments from regulating vacation rentals.

We did not collect security deposits from either tenant, and instead wrote up explicit "month-to-month" tenant agreements which they both signed stating that no deposit was accepted. 

We could elect to sell it then if we choose.As someone pointed out, the house has been appreciating quite well, so we may as well let it ride and continue to collect the rent. 

Using the highest interest rate in the wrap to cash flow and collect a down payment.

If this is a prize bull , collect some bull semen to sell to offset the damages .
