landlordwhisperer: New Client on FRIDAY * Lost them on SATURDAY...I still say TIME WELL SPENT!

I went to a property presentation on Friday for a very desirable rental home * BIG with a 2-CAR garage * 2 of my 3 favorite features of a new rental home. I had already sent these owners my management proposal and management agreement and was expecting to meet with them, sign the agreement, get the property keys and a check. I arrived to find a U-HAUL truck in the driveway as they were moving the washer/dryer from their current home * 2 hours away * into the rental home. THIS would not have been an expen$e I would have recommended....offering … (3 comments)
landlordwhisperer: REASONS I KNOW We Are in a TIGHT RENTAL HOME MARKET!

DELETING those camera (#s) images has greatly reduced the size of my photo files.
