Annette Hibbler I am finding it interesting that up til now all the responses have been from men!

@Shama Jones I don't believe the REI industry is ran by men.

Yes, it could be called sexist saying women are just better at PM then men, it's also a statistical fact and truth.

He said that for 4 baked men, it COULD cost up to $400+ depending on how many items the tenant has....Are there any other options?

For the most men, it is all about the function.

Between depreciation, income, and mortgage interest you're probably gaining cash on year end taxes, making it more cash positive than you're counting... then again, the best laid plans of mice and men :) It's just a spreadsheet afterall.In the most broad sense I am with @Joel Owens- Odds are good that if you sell in Aug, move into an apartment while looking for a good 2-4plex, and then finance that 4 plex with another FHA loan you'll likely come out way ahead.

How much posing, pretense, and bluster take the place of capable competency in the world, especially among men, it's incredible.

You are trying to avoid the CON men.

I'm looking for some recommendations for repair and maintenance men.  

Women are more likely to be targeted by criminals than men.
