@Wes Rowlette Good to E-Meet you... when looking for a PM company I would say that is most vital thing to your success or failure.

Is there a habitability issue per the housing code?

Most agents and brokers realize that claims can take a year or two to surface at least, which is why keeping prior acts coverage is so vital.

Whatever you think you might save in $ you will more than lose in brain damage if you try to do it yourself.They played the habitability card by the way ... tenants can't claim something needs fixing and not let you in to fix it, document your efforts well.

It is vital that you select a manager you mesh with and will be trustworthy.Beware the Hidden Costs: You shouldn’t pay any more than 8% of gross rent as commission.

What's more, what current loan product justifies the notion of an OO buying a primary residence that is $20K and two months from habitability?

There are lots of resources to help with spending habits but it will come down to how much you truly care (and what you care about). 

@Emily Lopez What are your social habits?

Then for the last 7 years, we trust each other enough, and often she brings it by dinner time, so we don't have time to stop and count it, we would call her later if it's short, or sometimes over.Then a while back, my younger daughter was in the habit of swiping our money, One morning I counted $1,240 in rent money at the kitchen table, ran out of deposit slips, walked away for a minute to get more, walked back, finished writing the slip, and drove to the bank.

i know this guy has a habit of doing this. when i googled his name - the first thing that came up was dirtbag alert - he has conned people in the past and tried to sue for things such as defamation etc.
