Hello Nate,

I am a landlord and I keep the original, providing a copy to the tenants.

Terrible landlords. Especially those that have a lot of properties in the same area. Tenants can trash our properties and that changes our perspective, but it should be a lesson. When an owner has multiple properties in a nice area and all the units have problems, the owner is the problem, not the tenants.

Post: Are taxes and insurance usually included in a mortgage payment?

When paying taxes and insurance separately:

Late mortgage = default.

Late taxes = late fee.

Late insurance = hassle.

Welcome to land lording,

You could replace the items with either a laundry pod or 5 gallon salad spinner and a drying rack. If the tenants move out, you could advertise to 'green' tenants who will attempt to use less electricity, water, gas, and trash.

Hi Eleanor,

In addition to the very accurate responses you received, if you wish to read details about HOA's addressed here on BP, check out these forum posts:

@Teresa Keith thanks for pointing in that direction. @Brandon mentioned in another post how he created his website too but most people on here are saying they created a website but have not used it.

I plan to use it right away and I want something quick. @Diego Corzo , thanks for the link. I checked it out and I think I'm going to choose it as it looks ready to go. If I understand it's just the upfront fees and no monthly cost. Is that correct? Some of the lingo is foreign to me.
