Since I purchased the 4/3 SFH this year and had to spend a significant amount on decorating and insurance, I've chosen to keep expenses to a minimum.

There are times in most people's lives when renting makes sense, and I don't think any more or less of people who rent one way or the other - but lifetime renters who haven't deliberately chosen that path are generally there because they blew opportunities everywhere to own their own home, and if it doesn't bother them to be renters why should it bother me to charge them rent?

When do you know you’ve chosen the wrong property?

Basically out of all the people that were interested, I have chosen the people I liked/trusted the most. 

The appearance of these conflicts is the exact reason we have chosen not to set up a separate maintenance company.4) As others have said some of these might be security deposit issues.Best,Rick
