Not all renters utilize those amenities and at the end of the day a potential renter is still cost conscious.  

So sounds like whether lease signing being the same day as move in will be more dependent on what their needs are.

I've got financing all lined up and I'm ready to make offers once I target the specific neighborhoods I'd like to buy in.The skills I bring to starting my real estate investing journey are: good research skills, some experience, a support in my husband who is an MBA and also worked as a commercial RE agent back in the day, a cool head, and a thirst for knowledge.

Hello @Josh Day. As

that X argument does not work when your talking such large incomes.. although that could change with the new tax laws .. we will have to see.but in the past  if your knocking down 30k a month  ( nice family income for sure.) and you have a 1.5 mil mortgage at todays rates that's a mortgage payment still of only 10 to 11k a month with taxs and insurance that still leaves you with 15k plus a month to buy groceries.I posit that it was tougher in my day with a 40k income and a 100k house  wifes basically were not in the work force as much and if they were it was not high paying.. ( reality of the day) interest rates in those days and we are talking late 70s  were 9 to 10% not 3 to 4 like today.. but it still worked you could be all in on a home for 1200 a month or so.. and remember houses cost the same in Rochester New York in the day as they did in Cupertino.. 

Hopefully one day (as he experiences more & more on his own), he will realize that he has only been angry at himself this whole time, & that we really have done nothing but helped him this whole time (including pushing him out of the nest).Many blessings!

In the mean time , have the tenants pour a 5 gallon bucket of water down the toilet every other day , a large volume of water will move the deposits .

Have a set number of calls that you are committed to making each day.  A

If I reduce the rent should I take the posting down and let it rest for a couple day/a week before re-posting?

I don't think we will ever see a nation-wide rental decrease of 4% in a single day as the DOW did today.
