4 Out of Town Contractors

[Will Bradford]

So I have an open rental. I just closed on this house 2 weeks ago and have painted it and done tile work in the bathroom. I posted on craigslist and facebook and received a lot of interest but not a lot that seem qualified.

So long story short I got a call from a guy in Iowa that is a Mediacom contractor and will be working in my town for 6 months. It will be him and three other guys. He said they were having trouble with descent apartments because of course they dont like 6 month leases or 4 men.

But he said they would pay 6 months in full up front and I told him I would also charge a larger than normal security deposit. Normal is $650...I told him $950.

I will do credit and background of course. But I just wanted to get some opinions. Its a unique situation but I understand it as my brother just traveled for 6 months for a construction job. I figure at least I am paid in full so I will just stop by once a month to check on the place.

Any input would be appreciated. Will
