Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Then if you get them on the phone they will tell you "Oh I clicked on so many properties, which one was it?"

You want to make sure to find the right one though, and not just the first one that answers the phone. 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

I might take the day off work just to sit in the Department of State office when the ad ran without a Brokerage listed, phone number to the licensed brokerage listed.

Odds are those all go up.....Expense go up and rent goes down is the making of a bad investment for you.At best I would drop it and require them to have professional yard care be paid for by them..... even that would be a stretch unless my rent is higher than marketOpening the box of letting tenants dictate the rent is a bad precedent to start.....I might do this...1 year lease at $2800........ 2 year lease at $2700....

@Leah Stewart, have you consulted a local QB professional?

@Rob Wilcox I'm not an accountant so definitely consult your own accounting and tax professionals.

Apparently I can't post a phone number here (not helpful, BP) so feel free to pm me if you want his contact info.
