Sounds like you are experienced and Huntsville has been growing rapidly -

Appliances has its own head aches ,wear and tear and complaints .Circling back to your case ,your appicants sounds too pushy which is a red flag.They want it for 6 months ,when clearly your ppty is clearly advertised for LTR .They want utilities included and washer and dryer installed.BIG RED FLAG.They are too demanding.You are the Landlord and not them.Donot flex your criteria and property for the applicants.Tomorrow they will come back and say the compressor unit is too loud and must be replaced,cabinets are not shaker style and closes hard while closing and needs to be replaced etc etc.To me this above mentioned applicants are a pass .

The master bath in one of our rentals only has a jacuzzi tub, no shower head at all (weird, I know!).

Building in a contingency to your budget can help mitigate getting in over your head.2.

I continue to scratch my head watching investors from New York and Boston whenever I meet them at Foreclosure Auctions in Connecticut.

Some of your properties may be rapidly appreciating while others may be stagnant or losing value.

Although you can call the existing reservations and give them a heads up and link to the new listing.

It has low purchase prices still and it's appreciating rapidly.

Thank you for the insight and heads up.

We can't just put our heads in the sand and pretend like nothing is happening.
