Your ITIN may be expiring and you should begin the renewal process now if you will have a filing requirement next year, for tax year ending December 31, 2018.

very safe if done in basement by pellet auger or outside wood boiler. cheaper than anything. renewable. im looking convert 3 boilers over to wood boiler or pellet boiler in maine. 

The tenants have been great and have expressed interest in renewing the lease - so again, very impressed!

A concern of mine is how often it has to be renewed, longer the better in my opinion.

My current tenant has renewed lease for 2nd time.

Since it's month-to-month wouldn't it make more sense to just give the 30-day notice that I will not be renewing the lease?

If the tenant works out, then I will renew.

The real options I’ve seen (not the happy homeowner lease options) typically are for a year for a set option fee, with the right to renew for another year at a set additional fee, with or without a price escalation.

Management fees:none as real estate agent gets his commission on rental contract renewal, so they manage for free. 

I've heard owners that simply tell the residents they don't rent homes and therefore the residents have to either sign the new RTO or the lease will not be renewed.
