On average, I net about double the income I would've received from a long-term lease while still retaining complete control of the property, experiencing the benefits of Aircover and being able to offer the space to friends and family who come to visit.

I would want to visit their operation to see if it fits my needs. 

(lease states no smoking), tenant B moved out and tenant A seems to have replaced her w/ a tenant C (this was a bit sketchy we told them they needed to sign new lease blah blah blah they claim there was no change of tenancy blah blah drama drama blah blah) tenant C seems to have a dog that she brings with her for her “visits” and a few other instances of BS lying and whatnot…anyway, I just mailed a letter of termination of lease (uploaded to FilePlace @http://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/Jonathan_S/file/termination-notice ) with delivery confirmation through USPS and will be hand delivering one tomorrow as well.I didn’t find to much on the topic in my searches so thought I would see what people thoughts/experiences are.

Santa already came to visit - did he give you the present you were hoping for?

I've also got a self-made survey to carry with me on all visits to potential investment properties.

For the wholesale home I purchased a few months ago (all in rough numbers) $53k for home from wholesaler at the Memphis Investors Group (REIA) meeting I attended during a visit there to purchase homes. 

For my particular situation paying a management firm 8% of the gross  rent was worth not being hassled over the management of the property and knowing that someone was visiting the house taking care of issues and ensuring the renters met their obligations.  

How much was your first visit to the RE attorney and have you been back?

I have gotten some general information and I should be able to visit the property in the next week or two with a contractor to get an estimate.

I like to have the comps that the ARV was based upon, and pictures clearly showing all rooms, with detail pictures of all necessary repairs so I can do a quick estimate without visiting the property.
