I do property management; the usual fee is 10% of rents for full
service, 5% for merely finding, screening and booking tenants.

Landlords generally hate the uncertainty of month to month leases
but are OK with terms other than 12 or 24 months. Ask for the term
you want and see what happens.

Its generally hard to find tenants in Dec and Jan. unless you're in
a college town that has a semester system and new students arriving
in Jan. (I make all my tenants pick a termination date at the
beginning of the lease that falls between March 1 and Nov 1 for
that reason.)

     Title: Pueblo Green Chili Sloppers
Categories: Chili, Sandwiches, Groundmeat, Beef, Cheese
  Servings: 4

      8    Mira Sol chilis (or
      2    poblanos and
      4    cubanelles)
      1    jalapeno, finely chopped
      2 TB raisins
     28 oz can whole tomatoes packed in
           juice
      4 TB vegetable oil
      1 lg onion, finely diced
      5 cl garlic, grated
      2 ts dried oregano
  1 1/2 qt chicken stock
      1 lb pork shoulder or sirloin,
           cut into 
    1/2    inch chunks
      3 TB all-purpose flour
           Kosher salt

This chili goes on anything, especially whole cheeseburgers to make
Pueblo Sloppers. Place a cheeseburger, bun and all into a bowl. Top
with a handful of shredded cheese and put a couple ladles of green
chili on top.

Note: the chili can also be made in a regular pot instead of a
pressure cooker. Increase cooking time to 2 hours, adding extra
water as necessary if it reduces too far.

Roast chilis directly over a gas burner set on high heat until well
charred on all sides (about 10 minutes total). Transfer to a paper
bag, tightly seal the top, and let rest for 10 minutes.
Alternatively, char the chilis under a preheated broiler until
charred on all sides, about 15 minutes total. Peel the skins off the
chilis and chop into 1/2- to 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside.

Meanwhile, cover raisins with hot water in a small microwave-safe
bowl Microwave on high heat for 1 minute, then let raising steep
until fully softened, about 5 minutes. Blend soaked raisins and
tomatoes with a hand blender or in a standing blender until nearly
smooth. Set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in pressure cooker (see note) over medium-high
heat until shimmering. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally
softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and oregano and cook, stirring
frequently until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add peppers, tomato
mixture, chicken stock, and pork. Seal pressure cooker and cook at
high pressure for 15 minutes. Release pressure.

Remove lid from pressure cooker and continue to cook without lid
until liquid is reduced to half, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat
remaining 3 tablespoons oil and flour in a small saucepan over
medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly until light blond in color,
about 3 minutes. Slowly whisk flour mixture into simmering chili.
Continue to cook until desired texture is reached. Season to taste
with salt. Cooked chili will keep in a sealed container in the
refrigerator for up to 1 week.
