People also like the idea of steady payments without having to deal with tenants and toilets.

I assume you’re not charging them for using your fridge’s water filter or if there’s less toilet paper at move in.I don’t like the HOA overstep or the idea of nickel and diming tenants.

I also install new low flow toilets with new lower flow flappers in all of my turnover units that haven’t previously had one installed.

My company solves many of the headaches of traditional property management all while saving you time, money and the hassles of dealing with tenants and toilets!

You're also looking at the cost of furnishing the unit (mentioned before) and providing incidentals like soap, shampoo, kleenex, toilet paper, etc. 

It starts with late payments and excuses, then it becomes non payments and squatting, and it often ends with the tenant threatening the landlord with lawsuits (regardless of whether they have a legitimate claim), and trashing the property when they leave.

This included paint, carpet, tiled floors, toilets, tubs, kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, plumbing, electricals and drywall.

Items such as flooring, sinks, toilets, showers, etc.In some of my areas the average rent runs about $600-$700/month.

Maybe you can manage a property from rehab through rental; deal with tenants, termites, and toilets; run the business.

If I go buy a new saw, or a toilet for a house with that $100 rebate check, is it deductible as well as the $1,000 for the carpet?
