Statements like "the house smelled," or "my car was broken into in the driveway," or "it took them 3 days to get back to me when a burner on the stove stopped working" are not necessarily an indication of a bad PM...

Wondering if any experienced landlords/ property managers out there have figured out how to "trim the fat" off their rental property expenses & or time allotted to them?

This is only my opinion, but even with going a little over budget and into my contingency funds, my answer to that GC would be a big, fat NO.

(Here in California is fat outside of our price range).Our search has brought us into the New Orleans area; multifamily properties are available and reasonably priced.Beyond being mindful of the flood zones, is there any additional considerations to investing in this area specifically if the numbers make sense?

We walked away from the settlement table with a fat check and a brand new farm.Then I learned how expensive farm equipment is.

No properties to flip, rehab or rent, no contractors, tenants or other annoyances to bother you... just cashing fat checks every month...

Both sides need to man up and take responsibility but unfortunately the banks with their now big fat bailout checks from our wonderful government feel that they don't need to take responsibility anymore now that big bro is backing them up.Nice wonderful system we have in place here!!!!!

Merry Christmas guys now if you will excuse me I must take care of some fat guy with a white beard and reindeer on my roof.

I measure the water temperature right out of the faucet in the tenant's unit, just after the hot water burner has shut off after a heating cycle.If you set the water temperature as I just described, there is no way that the temperature wouldn't get hot.

If they had a fat car pmt and tons of credit cards with balances I might be inclined to say no but if just the opposite low dti I would say yes.
