It was a dark and stormy…morning.  My third day on the job managing a one bedroom condo, also my very first property management gig.  The owners moved out to Japan, and came to me asking about Property Management.  I told them I’d never done it before, but it’s just a one bedroom condo, how hard could it be?

Well, that's all you'll need to get started, at least. See, the palatial estate's headed for auction on Nov. 22, and a $250,000 deposit is required to bid, according to Lauren Schuker Blum of the Wall Street Journal:

Home ownership provides numerous benefits to both the individual home owner and to the community they live in.
