They usually charge several $100.

If anything in the past was done incorrectly, once they're in there for inspections, you may be obligated to fix old issues that you could have otherwise gotten away with ignoring.NJ DCA Filing - Properties that are 3-units and above require a "green card" from the NJ DCA, which requires an initial registration + inspection as well as an inspection every 5 years.

Plus, I'm pretty sure they were charging me for inspections they didn't do.

I'm planning on using Post Card Mania - I believe they provide lists...have you heard of them?

The Civil Rights Commission will assign an investigator to see if there is cause for a charge - they do not operate on a "guilty until proven innocent" basis.

@Franka HauckAndrew gave you some valuable tips.A couple things to keep in mind1) Charge market rent to your inlaws.

Am wondering if I should for the sake of keeping the books straight charge myself rent (I have no plans to file eviction against myself if I don't pay).PS The unit is not held in an LLC and I have no plans to do that.

As soon as you do, something will break and you will be maxing out a credit card to fix it.

Streets can be a to b one end and low d's the other end so do your homework.Dean- I would love to hear some examples of things you look for with pm charges that can be wrong.

I know I need to calm down but I am angry at my realtor because she didn't get CDL or SSN card or credit report, (the tenant provided the credit report), and I am angry at myself.
