Collecting checks from tenants seems less than ideal in 2017.

this is a leader to get you to repond then its the old credit card scam.. they help you apply for a bunch of credit cards you could get on your own and they charge you 3,500 for the privilege .What they try to get you into is credit cards that have the teaser first year rate then it goes to normal rates. this for someone who can stroke a check can easily be gotten with out these folks. and if you don't have 50k in  your bank account your taking a huge risk of piling up CC debt and then be totally fubared if your deal does not work or does not work on time..

Although it would be ideal to have the fridge farther from the sink, I agree that viewing the side from the living room may make the space seem smaller.  

Splitting the lines to make them a tenant responsibility would be ideal if the investment weren't so pricey. 

Alternatively, you save yourself the money and you just stroke them a check. 

Basic brochure ideally 1 page with 1-3 color photos with house specs like a realtor would make - 3 Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, $1400/mo. $1400 security deposit.

Other than that, they have been working great and are ideal where there is either no possibility of ducting (vaulted Ceilings for example) or to save installing ducting.If you have good ducting then I would recommend a traditional AC unit.Good luck

Have set up a small team of real estate agent, Property manager, financing source, title company in Philly.I am aggressively looking to expand my portfolio and need a recommendation of good CPA/tax planner (ideally RE investor themselves) who is well versed in real estate tax planning and saving strategies. 

I don't deal with the savvy investor---I deal with the everyday homeowner who needs this program desperately.

If all you want to do is see the property all the landlord has to do is give them a 24 hour notice of intent to enter, ideally post a sign on the door, and he can enter.
