We had someone else who really wanted to rent the property because of the history of the property (It was built by Caesar Chaves for his workers), and because it had a guest house in the back where the unwanted tenants where, move into a camper onto the property in order to makes sure they didn’t damage it more and in order to keep out other people from breaking into the main house while we were rehabbing it.We had a judges signature for the eviction but could net do it because the constable wouldn’t call us and deliver the notice.

However, if Austin becomes the new epicenter of American Corona virus during SXSW next month, that would break through our economic defenses. 

Payments went from $150/mo to $240/mo plus a $100/month add on water fee b/c of a water main break and lots of damage.

Extremely clean, handy to have on site since we live 2 hours away and we were completely fine with the lower rent as we were breaking even.

On the flip side, I don't mind paying for PM but I'd like this property to at least break even, if not make a few bucks (and hopefully appreciate), and I see info on here where posters are saying they pay anywhere from 20-50% of their gross to PM, which sounds crazy to me especially at the upper end. 

However, for tax reasons, she continually operates her business in either the negative or breakeven for tax breaks on her, and my fathers, personal tax statements. 

I have some friends that were going to fly in for Spring Break next week. 

A property owner shouldn't be responsible for the additional costs if they tenant feels like breaking there lease. 

Like I said, worst-case scenario appears to be that I use it to house hack, break even on the cash flow, and live for free while renting out my current residence for a small cash flow.

My tenant always breaks our appointment for an inspection.
