However, there was a lot of additional paperwork, and I had the capital...So I just opted for the more traditional path instead.  

However, just because I don't agree with it doesn't mean I am in favor of the Government being given additional power to enforce additional laws and restrictions that infringe upon our freedom.

The only exception is for on-site managers, like you'd find living in one unit of an apartment building and managing the building on behalf of the owner.

Still, this is a poor time in the rental season and 1 months rent can be expected as a cost of vacancy (in addition to the cost to clean and touch up - $900) .Finally and I hope this is is the last one lol - Another tenant is moving out Jan 31st and this unit also requires a full cosmetic rehab.

In both you are now paying taxes on an additional $1K/mo.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

Additionally, the Villages are close by and with an aging population it attracts a lot of healthcare field workers.Now, with a lot of rental properties you may run into slightly longer vacancy periods if you have a unit turn at the same time as others, but generally speaking renter demand is solid. 

Change out the used sheets with fresh ones, then take the used ones off-site.

Might be an additional cost there.If units are updated, capex items look good, leases and tenants look solid, and there are no other regular expenses besides the 5200 in insurance/property taxes then I like this deal.  

They offer a $10K repair fund to fix damages in addition to SD plus warranty for appliance repair etc.I have no say in whom they choose to move in, whether there are animals, limit on # of occupants etc. they reserve right to inspect property so i have no idea if they can tell me to remodel, paint etc.does this make sense i have a vacancy coming up in October (bad rental timing).
