(We passed the annual inspection for her house about 2 months ago, it's a superb property with absolutely nothing wrong with it, the mice simply prefer to move indoors when the weather turns cold)As a policy we have placed bait-blocks for tenants behind the fridge/stove and in the basement for free, we even place them annually as part of our Fall Inspection where we check the home and most importantly the furnace.Bet you can't guess that when we didn't show up at her house on Saturday or Sunday she kept up the frantic voicemails to our company system...and the best part is when we showed up with bait blocks on Monday (our next scheduled work day for the crew AND WAAAAYYYY ahead of the 14 day timeline we allow for non-emergency repairs) the tenant refused bait blocks in the home since she has children in the home (who access the back of the refrigerator and stove I guess, no basement in this house).I'd like to assemble a list of what LaPlante does NOT handle, so we can direct tenants to that section when they ring our phones...

At sale we got a roof, first floor wax ring, garage roof patched, and some other minor repairs.

I've flipped a home and wholesaled 4 deals from December to now but I've only been able to do JV deals because I don't have marketing for the phone to ring.

Keep your ear to the ground locally - mostly online - and you can find out a lot. 

She thinks someone trying to sell her into a prostitution ring and a whole bunch of other far fetched ideas.

I always cringe when the phone rings hoping it is not a tenant saying their furnace won't start.  

Just depends.But if you own 4 rentals and say you did 4 deals, I'm going to estimate your bill around $800 - including the individual return, which I believe truly is fill in the blank work once you get past the real estate stuff.I'd be curious to know from @Nicole W. and/or @Arlan Potter , how many properties they own and how many transactions they did (i.e. say flips) to see if that formula rings true at all. 

I always recommend that new members in the Baton Rouge area join "The RING" real estate investors networking group in Baton Rouge. 

Soon joined by a fifth cruiser, a K-9 vehicle.About then my fiancé’s phone rings.

You should still hand-address the envelopes and put a real stamp on it.Your phone will probably ring off the hook.
