@Tristan Kelly tenant performance and damage is what you want to watch, along with squatters & theft of mechanicals.Update us in 6 months:)

It's fine if you don't ever need to cancel, or have any damaged items to return but as soon as you do, their customer service feels nonexistent. 

On the other hand, tenants tend to cause damages when moving these appliances in/out, so having them in place may be safer.I recommend you look at what others are doing in your community and price point.

I would only ever consider this if the ceilings are already falling down or damaged.  2.

People on that app with Quest shall be on exactly the same app (which does an awful lot for the money…some of you are so penny wise, pound foolish when it comes to your time & money, valuing the latter over the former by much too much) with different window dressing.

I understand this is not a requirement, but I have never received a damaged unit from an inherited tenant or any legal issues.

So, make sure YOU understand the copy & paste info below:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

In your example, $250 in utility bills is much cheaper than $2500 to fix frozen-pipe damages!

The home was in rough shape—think mold, a hole in the roof, and years of water damage.
