Hi @Yuriy Skripnichenko,  It has always been mine and my partners rule to leave instructions for anything mechanical we provide, such as smoke detectors, microwave, etc., in the units for the tenants.  

Assigning it won't leave you with much after paying the seller that $8k.

That doesn't leave me much wiggle room for closing costs when reserves are factored in.Please let me know if you have any ideas or referrals.

So you'd need to adjust your calc report for a bigger loan than it shows unless you really plan on leaving $19K in the deal.

You can leave Coldwell and start your own brokerage with a new company name. 

In the last month or so, as I drove by the property at night and during the week end, I noticed that some people who work there have been leaving their cars in the parking lot, at the same spot for days.At my instructions, Property Management dropped a letter to all tenants reminding them that only business vehicles are allowed to stay overnight.

A tenant will leave for 25$ increase .. of coarse they won’t bat an eye if their cigarettes go up to 8 bucks a pack or beer prices go up

I think many entrepreneurs are looking to work hard for a short period and then enjoy the fruits leaving the work to others. 

There's also a video walkthrough of the apartment, a link to all other apartments that I have available, my weekly schedule for when they can come see the apartment (I do 1 or 2 open houses per week), and a link to my online rental application.Place apartment on the market Prospects either call me (Leave a message on my Google Voice phone number) or I get an email from Zillow, Trulia etc with their contact infoI send the prospect a text message (using text expander) leading them to the webpageThe prospect chooses which open house works for them and will attend (I don't make 1-on-1 appointments).
