It is your property so unless the tenant is intentionally breaking things they should not have to pay for repairs.As others have mentioned, it is hard enough to get tenants to report small issues that can and do cause larger problems when I am not charging a fee, you are opening yourself up to major issues if tenants are reluctant to call because they don’t want to pay a fee.

The larger outsourcing companies are also good sources - try National Default Servicing and Integrated Asset Services.Hope that helps.KP

However, it was challenging to get it fully occupied due to families etc that were looking for larger units.

Weird that the township would go one way and the city another. township is much larger than the city.

In the past, we have heard you need to have a larger portfolio to report to the bureaus, but even if you could I would strongly recommend against it.

Cleaning and inspection tasks are auto created in Breezeway based on check out dates and assigned to my cleaners so they can see it in their Breezeway account.I could make this simpler by removing either Hostfully or Hospitable since they offer a lot of overlap features.

Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.

I choose a larger bank (better rates), two local banks (less restrictions, and one in which I already banked.Step 3 (network with everyone): During my lunch breaks at work and in between changing diapers I would call/text anyone I knew or didn’t know to discuss real estate.

It it was me I'd figure out how to get a staircase down into that unit from the unit above it and make the first floor unit larger.  

But I know sometimes I may need to sell to get a larger lump sum up front to help with lack of any other income currently.
