@Terry LandonEven if someone give you a referral, what meets their expectations, may not meet yours.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Rent restrictions can limit your ability to select the best tenant, increase rents, and evict non-performing tenants.

Giving up a bathroom at first and maybe a room later to increase this area demonstrates a calculated approach to realizing the full potential of your property.It's important to think about a few important elements before making any selections.

I would say that being within 15-20 minutes of town would be the max I would go if I were selecting a more secluded/private experience. 

There's lots of brands out there so user reviews would be bests to select but just know it may be more difficult to remove and some might have to be steamed and peeled off. 

Initially, I didn't select this route because I'm not located in the central part of Austin, but I would like to give this a try since the room is fully furnished, but will require some bedding, artwork, and a desk.  

If it were me, I would probably list my original house for rent to gauge the interest before pulling the trigger on buying the second house you have selected. 

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Once you get her out, you will have to select a new tenant.
