Visit your projects unannounced as often as possible. 

Two other companies that have sent me info which I am still reviewing is Xinsurance - They send a 13 page application to complete.The Heartford.

Suggestion: reach out to anyone marketing a unit for rent on the web, sign or newspaper.  

This is the IRS "intro":https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employe...and this is their 256-page guide to train their auditors:https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p5712.pdfSo yes, you will come across different opinions from different tax professionals.

Normally the tenants understand.If you're having consistent issues with a tenant abusing the HVAC only (if they are abusing other items then it may be helpful to find a new tenant), I know some HVAC companies offer an annual plan with a certain number of visits per year at a flat fee.

If you have a website, Instagram or other social page for the house, having those convey as well are always welcome.Our market is heavily driven by STR near the theme parks, so not sure how the SLC market works, but to me, having it still operating is a must.
