Throw in extra repairs for a 100yo bldg and you're at 50% no problem.If they are doing a good job placing tenants and maintaining the property overall, I'd be hesitant to fire them.  

Maybe, but he'd need an assistant most likely.

We have several pictures demonstrating that the condition of the foliage is clearly encroaching the unit and is clear negligence on the tenant to maintain the landscaping which resulted in the unit overheating.Lease states that the tenant is responsible maintaining the yard.

Ideally, by the time we're in our mid 40's, it would be nice if she could switch to a part time/casual type of work schedule and I could leave my full time job and concentrate on maintaining our real estate portfolio full time, and we could both have more time to spend with our 5 kids and eventual grandchildren.My wife and I talk about saving a lump sum to put down on our first rental, but after spending 15 months saving and paying off debt, I am ready to start investing! 

Let me know if I can ever be of any assistance.

They had the listing for the first two months and after doing some quality control spot checking on the listing, I realized they were doing a HORRIBLE job marketing and maintaining the property. 

If you still need assistance I can help you with a landlord policy and you would have 60 days to get the property tenant occupied... we have options if you need a longer time frame to get the property occupied.

@Ryan H I don’t usually supply fridges in my rentals, because it’s an extra appliance to maintain.

As we get ready to sell the house soon, how can we assist the appraiser with our input so that the appraisal can be more favorable for us?
