Also, hard money lenders want a scope of work filled out prior to funding the deal so this is a good little hack to get one as well. 

And, I think most women would choose a midwife that has gone through pregnancy.Like the OBGYN situation, there is a lot a CPA may not know about the rental business from debiting and crediting some journals and filling out line 242 on some Turbo Tax input form.And, understanding the operating details of the rental business are just as different from preparing a tax return as being pregnant is from delivering a baby. 

So this is creating more competition and more agreesive rent rates and/or concessions like 1 month free to get those vacancies filled.

We will quickly correct the excess spending, and fill the vacant units with quality residents.

If they move soon, one month vacancy would eat away any savings of a hard "no" and it's wintertime (here) where vacancy is harder to fill...I'd at least discuss with the tenant and have someone do a bid to find out what it even costs for this home.

Quote from @Sami Gren: I start by making the original tenant fill out a form requesting to add a new renter, and they pay me a $50 processing fee (I charge a $50 fee any time I make changes to an existing lease). 

What @Mackaylee Beach said....at least have this guy fill out an application and check his background (and charge accordingly).

It fills out your Schedule E to send off to your CPA every year!

If there are, fill me in, I'd like to know?

Now if anyone has any appraisals drop them in and fill out the spreadsheet.
