I have a great maintenance man who does clean outs and repairs when a tenant moves, and acts as my eyes and ears around the park.

If you can stick to those areas, I honestly believe an individual with a full time job and a spouse that is helping can do 25 to 30 houses on their own.That is also assuming that you don't do any of the cleaning, repairs, etc.

Should an HOA be allowed to give credit to owners that are able to participate in a clean up day exempting them from a special assessment while assessing the rest of the owners that do not or, more important, cannot participate (whether they have to work on that day or are disabled)?

Tell them you'll provide the keys when you get confirmation at move-in that utilites were transferred for that effective date and move-in checklist is signed.

One side effect if your entering the market today and starting out- its very hard to cash flow.

Nights and Weekends hauling garbage, cleaning rentals, etc can be a terrific way to make an impression on them, learn about the business, and get some money while doing it.

Assuming that lease is valid, then it may well still be in effect.

I have yet to find anything quite as effective for connecting with the right people, finding relevant information and giving/getting help from other qualified individuals.Probably the best thing I ever did for increasing my actual leads was to pay for some SEO.

Any recommendations on the most cost effective way to get a business line that will be listed in the 411 directory?

That works out to a total outlay of $7000 for 6 months, which effectively brings the interest rate to 24%.
