Newish Landlord Questions
I'm currently leasing out my 2 bed/2.5 bath town home in a really nice area to my current tenants for a base rent of $950. I'm assuming they will not resign another lease because this will be the third resign should they decided they want re-up again. My town home is almost completely renovated aside from a few indoor aesthetic changes that need to take place. What my question is, is would it be best to included utilities (~$150-$200/monthly) and high speed (300 Mbps plus for $75/monthly) internet into the rent while charging $1500-$1600/monthly? Area is great for young professionals/ college students right next to the second largest research park in America and a university is less than a 5 minute drive away. Thinking about making the security deposit a full months rent and half due at signing and the other half due with the first month of rent.... Does this sound like a good plan?
