Leasing a Maytag laundry center from Wash.com would cost me $100/mo, but reviewers say they can take weeks to come out for repairs.A local place called Mission Laundry Equipment can lease me a Speed Queen laundry center for $110/mo, or sell it to me for $4,299 (actually $5,450 with all taxes and fees for delivery, installation, and setting up the credit card system).

Worst case scenario, you can also offer to pay half of their closing costs in order to incentivize them to accept your offer, as well.

That person is supposed to be available to respond to any potential complaints 24/7. 

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Education is a cost.

The list of items will probably cost me $15k and take more than 40 days to arrange given that I have a full time W2.

Any tips on how I should potentially navigate this differently?

I have been looking for SFH and Duplexes as well and found a "potential" cash flowing duplex in 32209 and began investigating forum discussions on this city.     

We explained to her she could find someone to sub-lease with our approval but one way or another she was on the hook for rental payments through the end of her lease and she seemed unaffected by potential legal action if a suitable sublease was not found.Anyone have any advice on this situation?
