We had about 50 General email inquires that say “tell me more” that contained email, phone and some limited demographics on applicants, plus had 18 phone inquiries from an under $5 listing on Zillow.  

So if there's a property A, worth 500k; and generating 10k cashflow; property B is worth 800k and generating 15k cashflow positive; I'd still go for property B.I didn't include SFH because I don't need to buy a super large house and not be able to rent any part of it (I am not keen renting it room by room or sharing common spaces).

On the plus side, they do numerous common repairs, but you must read the contract to be sure it is paid for and you can add "extras".   

The building is in great shape, particularly the common areas, basement, boiler, roof, exterior, electrical, and 3 car garage. 

Unless you are doing large commercial deals, where up-front fees are common, you should never pay these.

It all seems like common sense until the end of the project and sometimes it isn't.

It is very common and even more common in higher end showers.

@Branden Kline Find out if it is common for tenants to pay water/sewer in your area.

My agent is telling me these are minor issues and very common in Austin.

@Michele B.This is all too common, it's one of the ways shifty landlords try to minimize the cost of turning rental properties between tenants.In the middle of moving, with all the attendant expenses, very few tenants have the time management skills and/or available $$$  to get the property they're moving out of really clean or pay for professional cleaning.
