Another friend who invests heavily in Phoenix shared a story about her first deal there..she jumped too quickly into a duplex without adding a little cushion for those first-year capital improvements.

I also added one other habitat which I am very excited about, but have not started to implement yet...I would like to do it once a day, but I think I will start out with a once-a-week video journal entry!

Maybe they want bigger lot, more land, extra lots. 

i provide dishwasher if we are putting a new kitchen. also a garbage disposal.sometimes i provide washers/dryers if i have extra laying around (i always seem to have them).sometimes i have purchased fridges and ovens since it's best to invest in capital expense and get a tenant than to have a house sit empty forever.our lease also states that tenants should purchase the appliance plan, which noone really does purchase. 

Likely it is just a quit claim deed to your new name, however, also note that some states (ie MI - requires another form to be filled out and it changes our taxes - or can change them....).Get the help you need to make sure it is done right without costing you extra down the road.  

probably the best outcome is to reduce the cost of adding housing.  

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

One thing people haven't mentioned is look for your own ad on the key rental syndicated sites and see if it presents well. 

A D property comes with a decomposing body….

John - I've recently added "virtual staging" to my rental photos.
