We charge a full months rent for finding the tenant.

The STL REIA recently had a zoom call on the topic, which I think you can find on YouTube.

@Michael CsrnkoI recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

I am finding conflicting info elsewhere online. 

In response we did a deep clean on the unit and couldn't find any bed bugs but found some possible bug casing and bug excrement.

We bought our Rockies place cash and had to understand the insurance aspect of it-- we couldn't find a provider that wouldn't charge such a huge amount that I would be kind of embarrassed to say here.

If I am the property manager or managing the property myself I try to find a time to meet the tenant in person.

I'm not worried about finding the next deal or anything and as far as management goes, Florida doesn't require any license for self managing.

Growing area How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

In the meantime I read every book I could find on commercial real estate; attended every commercial real estate meeting in the Houston area, and spoke to numerous commercial brokers.
