We fill our vacancies typically within a week or two and our rents are higher.

The vast majority of tax preparers merely fill out forms you or their software tells them to fill out.

I recommend reading some books to gain 80% of your knowledge, then use the forums, podcasts, and networking with other investors to fill in the gaps.1.

Eg if you charge 1300 a month for 3 bedroom charge 150 weekly and fill 4 beds (1 room for sober house manager) = $2400 gross. 

You get that done across all the units and your rate of return now looks much better than that CD and you also increased the value of the property by forcing appreciation.DOWNSIDES-Real Estate is filled with risk that you don't get with CDs.

At the signing we take them through the lease page-by-page as with any new tenant, take pictures of ID and also ask them to fill out our rental application so we have not only updated but what we consider complete information about them on file. 

The book has downloadable forms and is filled with useful information.

I filled out the application but have NOT given out any sensitive information yet.

Easier to fill once a year than 2 times, I guess. 

Hello  , One of our tenants just requested to fill in landlord paperwork for the Rental assistance program.
