I personally keep each one under it's own llc, with separate bank accounts and do not commingle funds.but check with a local attorney that practices in real estate law.

Bet on number 7 in the second race if you live across from the track....No really.....One oddball I have read in a couple of books and even online (here and elsewhere) that may have some merit is juding a potential property/tenants by their vehicles....( not the only metric for sure but just one observable factor of many to consider along with all the other data points and best practices).If the place you are looking at has a bunch of older inefficient, beater cars in the lot, this may be a management issue (leaking oil, immobile cars, unsightly) AND also eating up the tenants monthly paychecks in repairs, fuel, etc. 

I know that it's up for negotiation, but I wanted to know the usual practice for commercial properties.Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Would it be practical to use one of these services for leads & direct mail campaigns for such a small area?

I'd love to hear from PM's on their best practices or options and landlords as I want a great tenant but also want to manage my VR to keep it as low as possible (and yes I do budget for 5% VR annually).

Our standard practice is to do them every quarter, but our clients are allowed to have us do them less if they want.

I guess I could also "practice" in areas I have no interest in buying.

I won't have enough parking for my small apartment and really my tenants won't have any room to get around the building without some practical use of his driveway even with no one parking on that side.The new owner is very hard to work with.

Use the "ok" deals just as practice on paper.
