I live in Denver so I need a rock solid, no nonsense, experienced property manager to make sure the lawn is mowed, phone books don't stack up, neighbors stay happy, etc. while I schedule work to be done and have contractors come an go. 

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Energy prices are artificially low, and cannot be sustained at this low level for long.

Having been a renter my whole adult life I own minimal tools and zero lawn care or snow removal equipment. 

Also, I'm going to offer lawn care this time b/c they aren't doing a very good job.

Otherwise it’s a race to the bottom - you can lower your prices as much as you want but you can’t create artificial demand that simply doesn’t exist in that market

Before this, it was up to hosts to pay up at the end of the tax year, which made their gross revenues look artificially high (because they were pre-occupancy tax). 

This is taking a property that could cashflow for someone else down the road and parting it out artificially raising prices on all other properties in the area, the Manhattan Syndrome.

IE uncut lawn.

My duplexes here are also about 1% rents to purchase price and only cash flow because the tenants pay all utilities, snow removal, lawn care, etc.
