We spend about $300-400 every two weeks on variable expenses (food, gas, household items, etc.)

Steven, do you know how many letters I get daily from people wanting to buy my house and other properties?

I recommend setting up keyword alerts for each area as they are discussed in the forums daily with advertisements posted in the BiggerPockets marketplace hourly.One thing to note when looking at the individual markets, you can make or loose money in any market.

They exist throughout the real estate food chain. 

Also, there are cases where the expenses will be higher, particularly in an RV park that has a large amenity package and daily RV traffic.  

The property manager should be refreshing those ads daily so it’s at the top when people are searching.

Personally, I’m looking for a company that views me as a strategic partner – not just a set of properties to insert into their daily processes.

This is necessary, because residents have more leverage over bug and rodent issues as the landlord has: cleaning, leaving food out etc.

As a PM this makes our jobs harder a good PM has automated systems with their maintenance team, you are asking them to change their routine, and trust me most preferred vendors are a lot harder to get to a job site or to even just get a hold of than the ones we speak to on a daily basis.3.

If you would be scared to walk the streets at night and don't have the ability to do daily checks i would stay away from the historic district if you're buying a value add property.
