Hi all, Can anyone recommend a local resident or company that can cut grass on a monthly basis at our property.

I say look at the markets just around DFW....draw a big circle around DFW and look around the edge and outside of the edge....so places like Decatur, Denton, Aubrey, Anna, Van Alstyne, Sherman, Princeton, Heath and others.

If you are not making headway as a landlord and you think you might not be cut out for it, what do you do? 

As everyone says, cut corners, and it will bite you.

Here are some tips on how to cut costs and keep your property above water!

However, sometimes you'll need to just cut line and start fresh with another bank like @Will Gaston mentioned. 

Use a good agent, don't try to cut corners to save a few bucks.

You may have to pay them a bit for their equity, but if they dont cut a deal with you, they are going to lose their house and get nothing.

If they leave, you rent at $1200, if they stay, they have an under-market place and you've cut your losses. 

I see a lawn in the back so I would factor in at least $50/month for the lawncare because someone is going to have to cut the grass.
