After that, there is a single annual inspection that is just in place to ensure the rental is still clean, safe and functional.

I'm also a young guy establishing myself in this real estate world.

HUD establishes a cap in every locality.  

But then, I just don't care for HOAs due to the messes I have cleaned up in the past. :)

At the end of the day though my main objective is to get in front of property owners and establish rapport with them.

If I had non-standard sizes, I would buy or make some number of reusable filters - maybe 6 or 12 - deliver them to the tenant, tell them to change them once per month and set the dirty filter aside, and I would collect them on a regular basis and clean them/have them cleaned, rinse and repeat. 

, arrange for someone to clean it out if its a dump (It usually is), get bids for repairs, approve bids for repairs, get repairs, re appraise the property, then list it with a local agent.

Now I need to fix holes and clean.

Hi everybody, The tenant in Manore Austin, just moved out and the carpet needs to be cleaned and we should paint the walls too.

I am thinking about doing a 1031 exchange next spring into a 6-8 unit apartment in Tampa or Jacksonville where I have an established team.
