The estimates I used were 30 year mortgage, 6% interest, property taxes at 2.5% of MLS-which I'm assuming would be close to the appraised value, $1000 property insurance, 30% for property management, $1000 for repairs and maintenance-it is new construction, $500/mo for utilities - electric and good cable, $1000 for accounting and legal, $279/yr for advertising on VRBO - though we wouldn't be paying this if we used PM, $700/mo HOA-quote from agent.What are we missing here???

Welcome Kevin.Your going to learn a lot and it is fun communicating with like minds.Welcome!

That impasse was, briefly, bridged when the landlord verbally informed me of the issuance of "3 days notice" upon the next instance.That is the nodal issue - her continual violation of our mutually agreed terms.She hasn't since met this term (all subsequent communication taking place via traceable means).It seems the strategy of a multiple vacancy might be less effective since she recently granted me an amended period of notice of 3 days from the original lease of 30.

You know, the giant wooden cable spool works great in the breakfast nook...

I would suspect that the seller would like this so that the communication chain is shorter.

If matching panels weren't available, you would have been charged for an entire garage door and it would have been a heck of a lot more money.As it is, your landlord price shopped, because that is cheap to have two panels replaced..Normal wear and tear on garage doors is something like a metal cable getting frayed from lots of use, or a cotter pin breaking.

When communicating directly with brokers, I have tried to be as concise as I can as to what I am looking for.

Open lines of communication are a must.

Most tenants look at the base rent price and not the extras like gas, electric, cable, and internet.
