Going to offer a 20% discount for a week's stay.Signed up on Pricelab for a trial...We are going down to clean it now so the wife will take some new pictures (she is pretty good), at least until we can get a pro in there.

I've used TenantCloud on a trial basis and was pretty impressed for such a low price ($10 a month if you accept online payments, otherwise free).Software is a common question on BiggerPockets.

The truth is, you could read 100 books and still not know enough because certain things need to be learned through trial-and-error.

Plus, since you already own your property and presumably can afford to live there without a tenant, you could do a "trial run" of house hacking with a relatively short lease (maybe just 3 or 6 months)--which would give you an exit if you decide you don't like it, or you end up with the wrong tenant, etc.You can use an FHA loan, but you don't necessarily have to go FHA (all mine were conventional, NON- FHA 30 yr fixed mortgages).

I plan to offer her a mtm lease for 3 months, as to give us a grace/trial period and save me from having a lease start/end in January in upstate NYany thoughts and recommendations are appreciated! 

Our trial date isn’t until Feb of next year, so we continue to sit, receiving no mortgage payments and having increased legal fees.

If this were happening to my Grandma and I presented these facts to a group of unknown business people and they made a bunch of Werther's Original jokes, I would (1) be forgiven for thinking that landlords are the awful stereotypes the media and lawmakers often make them out to be, (2) be justified in hating them forever, (3) also be justified in probably punching them in the face, and (4) probably get away with it because I'd demand a jury trial and as soon as the comments of the punched party got out, the jury wouldn't sympathize with that person either and would let me go.Again, not trying to be the fun police. 

If they miss a payment, then I can red tag the door without a trial.
