2) if they go month to month, how much premium do you charge?

However, whenever credit is extended to a partner -- they should expect to pay a fair premium for that service.

The annual premium is only about $800, and a price reduction can offset that.

That's all that matters because people won't pay a premium for property in bad locations.

there are ways around credit checks, but you pay an even higher premium to do so. best bet imo is to partner with someone as a passive investor while you learn comm real estate and boost your credit score.

Obviously, I am going to authorize an after-hours call to a plumber if there is a leak that results in water accumulating  under the bathroom sink (preventing property damage is a no-brainer); however, if a toilet is clogged, the water heater stopped working, electric power is no longer coming into a section of the house, then I dont want to pay the premium to have the tradesperson come after-hours (I dont feel like paying a premium for the convenience to my renter) when the call can be made the following day or on Monday if the issue occurs on Sunday morning.

@Sharon Deloris, I think the question on whether to sell comes down to what you think are the valuation prospects going forward and also what is the durability of this premium rental rate you can get?

I would think when the seller wants a premium price to sell but is getting tired of being a landlord.

It really deserves some type of premium.
