We have one spreadsheet template for deal evaluation (research) and a second one for managing each property we own (track tenants, rent, security deposits, LMRs, the loan, and a few different summaries of financial performance). 

Your property manager should pay you on the day the rent is due, and either get his commission from that or the next rental period, or better yet from you (set up auto pay IF he performs).Now, he should respond to you within a few hours, if nothing more than, I'll call you xxxx, certainly within a day or so.And, you really should be managing your own.

It easily performs a job of a full-time person (if we had to do it manually).

Looking for someone who can perform home repairs as well as small plumbing/electrical jobs.Thanks!

performance bond to the city to finish the infrastructure.

On my third filter, we schedule a touring of the property and perform a physical preliminar analysis of the property (not an inspection) to figure out how much CapEx will be necessary.

You can find the ideal property, in the ideal location, but if it’s managed poorly it still won’t perform.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

@Ryan Friend We own three single family houses in south part (more neighborhoody) of Allentown and those have been performing really well.
