Looks almost identical with the exception of updated exterior features.

We are in almost an identical situation.

The layout isn’t great and the neighborhood still has its quirks (drug dealing, theft, airliners flying right overhead).

It appears from the FEMA flood map overlay on satellite image that much of the wetlands is planted with pine, meaning more of the usable/build-able land is clear while still growing pine for profit on all the 'useless' land.I've found a nearly identical 40.0 acre nearby sold comp for the raw land, down to nearly identical ratio of wet to dry land.

@Ethan Mastrodonato The whole point behind having the security deposit is to protect the landlord against excess cleaning, breakage, or theft upon move-out.

But the one many don't consider is theft, whether it's from contractors stealing materials, or someone breaking in and stealing tools, materials, or just simply vandalizing the place, causing delays. 

When I saw the house photo I instantly knew this was Houston, TX.I had an identical deal, BRRRR turned Flip, this past summer in NW Houston. 

You're the business that keeps accepting overqualified applicants for key positions and keeps losing them to headhunters because they have so many options other than working for your stingy self.So I guess my slumlord bonafides are now fully on disply with this post, but I'll continue treating my tenants like human resources to be fully exploited to the best of my abilities (just like a corporation), and you can keep on looking for exemplars of the finest past conduct to fill your vacancies (people whose next step is buying a house when they get sick of renting, with their good credit and excellent record), and we'll both do well in our market segments, you in your clean Canadian suburbs, me in my Rust Belt ghetto cesspits.Frankly, if I had a tenant applicant show up with the kind of clean record you're looking for where I own low-income rental properties in the 'Burgh, I'd immediately suspect identity theft.

Each tenant sets up an account directly with SmartMove, their identity is verified, and then their background info is made available to you once the service fee is paid.

Same identical structure.
