Do I take pictures of everything before renting in case there are damages when the lease ends?

I literally get a Christmas card from my Plumber - which tells me we are one of their bigger customers. 

I probably won't book any place that does not have instant booking turned on in the future.If I am not mistaken, instant book is a search criteria on one of the platforms, and if you are not doing that, then your pool of potential customers is smaller by some degree.  

Each person has different goals, expectations, lifestyles, resources, etc. so we really need to look at the overall picture to see if this makes sense compared to other options available. 

However, a personal financial statement can give you a clear picture of your assets, liabilities, and net worth, which could make the loan process smoother and quicker.If you’re not in a rush, you might consider setting up a simple personal financial statement in a spreadsheet.

Figure out who your "customer" would be and set everything up to target them.

I used a faucet as an example because that is an item that normally breaks down first and often observe customers walking down the fixture aisle at HD or Lowes looking for the least expensive option, whereas purchasing inexpensive tile or other cosmetic items won't necessarily cause maintenance issues although I would argue will cost you revenue (more on this below). 

Since you’re already in touch with your tax advisor, it’s wise to confirm this with them, as they’ll have the full picture of your situation.

We added some custom details to the property to make it more appealing for our tenants as well as manage the property effectively and efficiently so that our tenants always wish to stay residing in the property.

Now that I have a few quality close-up pictures, I will contact them again electronically.
