Instead, think respectful and professional interactions, open and honest communication, prompt response to tenant needs, establishment of good property management systems, and customer service. 

We are billed quarterly by the town- receiving the bill about 1 month after the service date on the bill and payable about 3- 4 weeks from receipt.

They both have high taxes in relationship to the rest of the country, and one of the tax bills is actually going up over $3,000 this year! 

Have you hired a service like WeGoLook.com to visit the property to see if is it occupied?

Debt service?

I retired as a Master Sergeant from the Air Force after 20 years and 7 months of honorable service. 

Their services are $99/year.

Eligibility requirements: 1) 90 Days wartime service. 2)  181 days of continuous peacetime service. 3) Discharged from service without dishonorable conditions. 4) Six years service as a reservist or National Guard member. 5) Spouse of a Veteran who was/is KIA/MIA/POW.Entitlement: 100% of the appraised value.

Based on the numbers you provided and running the deal through my software analyzer, the NOI comes to $14,400 (50/50 rule) and the debt service comes to $15,322.16, so you have a LOSS of $922.26 each year.

Not sure how to charge for this or fix it.Yard - they didn't really keep up the yard as we would have liked (we are moving to include yard service to avoid this in the future) There are big chunks of dirt where grass used to be, some of the plants we had planted died due to not being watered etc.
