If you screen your tenants well you'll rarely even need to know any of this.

@Jaren Woeppel , after looking at the available local options, we continue to self-manage although we export a number of tasks, ie. answering the phone.

There was a disconnected phone line, no website, people living in motorhomes illegally and only about 50 percent occupancy (some of those people weren't paying).

You take a short class 30 minutes over the phone and once you finish this process you typically can save around 1% off your rate!

To answer the title of your post, selling fsbo can be a good idea if:- you have experience selling RE- you price the home to sell- you have systems in place to collect inquiries and facilitate showings i.e. call center/email/google forms for screening inquiries, showing agent, lockbox, security alarm, etc. - you have dozens of local agents who can market the property for you and bring you a buyer- you are listing in a desirable area with low-inventory - you are not in a rush to sell

I screen animals and then assign a score to determine how much to charge.

You have to know your areas well and understand how to screen.

Before doing so I spent hours on the phone with Marco discussing the loans, use of funds, risks, management teams...I also spent time researching Marco and Norada. 

try KiaviLima one these are large lenders that will give you a baseline on costs.. then google hML Boise for locals pick up the phone or make an appointment.

Get them on the phone and ask the stupid questions.
