I'd eventually like to get away from that and move to the more formal option of the online form/email for maintenance requests, but either way once we receive the request we use an application called GQueues for tracking.

I stopped showing my place before it is at least almost ready because I never received a rental app. from potential tenants walking around paint buckets.

The same day I put it back on the market, I received a call from a man interested in buying with cash. 

Do we have to have utilities in our name, receiving mail, or is someone going to show up in 60 days and make certain that I have underwear in my dresser drawer?

Good evening BP,@Michael Quarles @Robert LairdI got a bunch of calls and website leads today from people saying they just received my postcards.

She has not received any of the direct mail that I would expect if she had received and NED. 

It's important, especially with a property manager, to go over all the details (big and small) and type of service and fees you will be receiving prior to signing any agreement with them.  

I received some comps for the area and calculated the average CAP rate to be 8.2%. 

But I just received first lease renewal and it has my name as lessor, which prompted this discussion.

I would like to start buying some more, I have received some off market offers to buy properties close to 4 and 5%, one in particular I can estimate at all in costs of $120,000 bringing in almost $5000 a month gross.
