Welcome to BP Kenneth. Check out the Podcast, there a great way to learn about REI on your way to work.

@Tommy Townsend I really like your advice of finding out if there situation is long term, and if they actually care. Thanks for the advice.

@Dawn Brenengen The late fee is $30 and $10 a day.

Seems like a consensious that I need to make them pay the late fee or they need to go. You are right @Thomas S. I am not running a good business by not enforcing the late fee and they are stealing from me. I will have my PM talk with them and give them the option to pay up current with late fees or serve them with a 5 day.

Really appreciate all the advice everyone.

Thanks for all the great responses everyone! I will definitely check out other rentals in my area and see what condition there lawns are in. @Gail K.you have some great advice, I will start focusing more on what renters want like the bling haha. 

To answer other peoples questions most of the lawns in my neighborhood are not weed free. I am thinking the house will rent for around $1500 a month and is in a real blue collar area. 

Sounds like you have spent the time getting educated now you just need to take action. Think I'm in a pretty similar situation. Need to start looking for deals and just buy one already. best of luck Brandon Shaw Brandon

I am getting ready to rent my primary residence in June. One of my biggest problems is knowing when to call it good on rehab, I do construction and am pretty anal when it comes to that kind of stuff. I tend to see every flaw and want to make it how I want it when I think most people would never notice (probably just answered my own question just now haha).

Should I re seed my lawn before I rent the place? Its probably about 50% grass 50% weeds right now. 

Where do you say enough is enough with rehabbing? 

Thanks @Robert Melcherfor the NARPM info, thats a great resource. @Gina McKeeits always nice to know who not to go with so thank you. @Lisa DoudI will definitely be giving you a call in the next few days, thank you for the great info.

Welcome to BP @Joseph Mccauley! Sounds like we have a lot in common, I have been in the Air Force for 12 years now, have a wife and kid and will be moving back to Las Vegas in a few months. Look forward to networking with you in the future. You should check out the BP Podcasts, there is so much awesome information in them, I listen to them every day on my commute to work.  

Welcome to BP Toby! Sounds like you have some great knowledge in an area were all interested in.

I currently own a SFH in Newport News, Virginia and plan on renting it this summer as I will be getting out of the military and moving out of state. I am looking for a good Property Manager, any referrals would be great! After doing a quick search, there doesn't seem many PMs people are recommending in the Norfolk or Virginia Beach area.

I would also be curious to get other SHR investors take on the current rental market in the Hampton Roads area. 

Thanks in advance!
