Ridiculous OP but worthy of providing some input on the app. 1) Actually view user profiles / message users: currently there is no way to message a user when viewing their profile in the app. 2) Email notifications should link to app if opened on mobile. 3) When viewing search results from the forums, I am taken back to the top of the search results when closing a selected thread rather than back to the place in the list where the thread was that I just opened. I have more but those are the main ones for now. Thanks for the great site. Ben

Josh Miller , also interested in those docs. Am on mobile and can't send you a note directly.

Welcome. I'm up in Jacksonville.

Great idea. Would definitely appreciate a post-meetup report. Too much going on this weekend but could definitely benefit as we just closed on our first rehab/flip as well.

What about that groutable vinyl tile I've seen at Lowe's? Any experience with that?

@Julie Thevenow, I like the look. I was looking at some similar colored Vinyl Plank Flooring from BuildDirect.com. What thickness did you use?

One "hack" I started using was forging a relationship with a local realtor to show my houses for me for a cut of the first month's rent but no need to hire her or her company as a PM. Happy to share if interested. 

Unfortunately your woes sound far too familiar to me...and for most folks who have used PMs in a predominantly rental market. I have 2 SFR in the Sneads Ferry area. Back when I had one I started self-managing after firing my PM following a terrible experience. Have been able to self-manage even though I've spent a fair bit of time out of the area. I built a solid network of contractors that I trust, have friends that will check on on the property if needed, and do my best to get quality tenants.

Can you share a bit more about the problems you are having with your current PM?

As a 14-yr member of the military I've never used AHRN to find housing and I've never had any other service members using it. The one time I posted a house there I never got any leads and found the site difficult at best to use. A much better site focused on the military community is MilitaryByOwner.com. Have been VERY successful using that multiple times over the years.
