That is with hiring a very large management company, which later had to be fired for incompetence.Bad debt and evictions were a constant struggle, as were unexpected capital items and tenant-caused disasters like fires and people driving their cars into my buildings.

Hello all,I am new to the game and wondering what items need to be included in a partially furnished home?
