Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Today my PM signed a lease for SLC Townhome #1.  The tenants wanted the appliances (washer, dryer and fridge) and agreed to pay an additional $100/mo.  So this townhome is rented for $1250/mo which brings in a decent $400/mo cashflow ($300 for 9 months).  I am spending about $900 for ...

SLC tenant update
