I just listed my last property for sale, a fourplex in Pocatello, because now I focus more on commercial RE and syndications to be a true passive investor and not deal with tenants and repairs.

I think behind tenant screenings and leases there is a quality of a landlord that's also as a person that is the respect for a good person and the intelligence of making fair affairs.For me for ten years in the past I had a house of 650sqft (two rooms and cozy kitchen) where I always have been giving away one of the room for others who were asking for help for themselves and I didn't had any earnings for me by that, and that has been during for many and many years, meanwhile I was surely needing more space for me, for my business in a studio and for my own personal life I eventually could have been having.Nonetheless this, on last years I had no more an house and I needed a room for rent, but even before any screening the landlords were being unrespectful and very unreasonably severe to me, they often had making me lose so much time by no taking or going away to the point I had no other choices in the end, and they set me in the wrong places for me, dangerous ones, too small, too big and very expensive, unhealthy ones or not providing anything at all when it was obvious they needed to.To me this kind of behaviour is very wrong, mostly because usually they are the same people who pretend respects and acts as they are very careful and attentive to housing situations in general, but with me, they have been lying above anything and just disrespected the person at a human level. 

In terms of performance, I will be honest with you: it all comes down to your source of lists, the way you set up your campaigns, and last but not least, your templates.

I'm in the Harris county market for the last 2 years.

I had a project last year that a sub hit a conduit that was marked out and the utility made a claim many months later.

For example if you were to exit a new build in 5 years there may be no cap ex cost (i can think of few cap ex items that does not last 5 years - maybe carpet in class c and lower), just maintenance costs which would be fairly small.Best wishes

The lease cost is about $100 usd for the last 5 years total.  

Follow the step for the deposit-even if it is to send a registered letter to their last known address stating that the deposit was used for outstanding rent and whatever damages or cleaning was needed (itemize it). 

For the last 4 years in AZ, I have been a home inspector.

Hi @Christopher J Driscoll I am doing something quite similar to your approach, my ADU permit should be approved quite soon, I am still waiting on my last LADWP clearance.
