So, you'd say a better deal would be to find deals, via marketing and or/driving for dollars, and THEN use these resources, in conjunction with county records, to research the local properties that I've found?

I do understand that they don't want to pass out a lease they basically paid for that could end up being used in that community, but it also tells me they are pretty locked up in thier thinking, probably due to thier attorney.I'd say reviewing the lease prior to hiring them would be more than reasonable and you should be able to add any addendum you like, so long as it doesn't violate local law or custom and it doesn't make thier job leasing more difficult.It also tells me that in the event any issue pops up, this PM may lack experience in dealing from a managerial standpoint attempting to follow strict guidelines, doesn't sound like they might be ver flexible, even if common sence should prevail.Could be too you need to do some more stroking, making the PM more comfortable with your requirements.PMs need to understand they represent you, you drive the bus and they oversee your directions.

Violations of the ordnance may result in citations being issued and repeated violations may result in the animal(s) being impounded and the owner being required to attend a hearing in Justice Court.I don't want to take this to court but not having a tenant is driving away $1000s of dollars from my pocket.

What drives me far and clear of the stock market are this.

After contacting the bank's attorney and doing my due diligence at the courthouse, I did a few drive-bys of the property, and all seemed well.

I drive past them every day so I always know whats going on.

From that point you'd have to go into private funds with higher interest, which would drive that number down.

I know it's hard work but, What drives me to work at it is my kids.

He still is in jeans and flannel or canvas work shirts every day and drives a used pickup.

You could give the 15K car to your wife and drive the beater.
