Pet owners spend thousands of dollars on vet bills, obedience school, treats, clothes, toys, etc. for their pets, so requiring a pet deposit has never raised an eyebrow.

Thank you for your time and consideration. 1) Not really. 2) Credit, income, landlord reference, eviction record, criminal record, cleanliness of vehicle and clothes, type of pet(s) (if any), quantity of people they want to have occupy the unit. 3) We already market our units a little below market rent so that we can get a good pool of applicants to choose from.

It includes couches, beds, a little clothing, but also a large file cabinet full of documents (that may need properly disposed of, I have not looked at them yet).

Now a few of the others steps he should do ( if he is professional he may not need to do a few , drop cloth,tape,ect..)

Clothes get shoved to the back racks with 80% discounts to make them disappear.

There's a mall (too much emphasis on women's clothing for my taste, but its been years since I've been there) and a bunch of more interesting shops north of the mall.

These are the best books that I've found for beginners for fix-and-flip and wholesaling:------------------------------------------------"FLIP: How to Find, Fix, and Sell Houses for Profit"Rick Villani and Clay DavisISBN-10: 0-07-148610-0ISBN-13: 978-0-07-148610-1"Getting Started in Real Estate Day Trading"Larry GoinsISBN-13: 987-0-470-41862-8 (cloth)------------------------------------------------As for earnest money deposit, it's not legally required for a valid binding contract (EMD is a deposit not consideration), unless the parties specifically agree in the contract that EMD is required or there is an unusual situation like California pre-foreclosure of an owner occupied home (in that situation CA law requires a nominal cash EMD of about $100 if I recall correctly), and some other states have some inane consumer protection laws regarding pre-foreclosure of owner occupied homes.Having said all that, if you are buying from a For Sale By Owner (FSBO), then I suggest using a 0% interest promissory note for the EMD, that is redeemed upon completion of the inspection period or upon contract assignment, whichever occurs first.

If there was a booking, all we'd have to do is grab our clothes and head to our other house.At some point there's a good chance we'll downsize.Once we are prepared to downsize, and have purchased that home, that's when this would come into play.

I was worried about shopping for winter clothes before the summit.

If the tenant has to pay the money you better believe they will tell you about it.The tenant also lets their buddies come over to wash their cars,the tenants takes extra long showers,and also lets friends come over and run the washer and dryer constantly because their friends do not have a place to do clothes themselves.I have also seen on a building before where the rent included the power bill.A tenant had the A/C on with setting at 60 and a blanket on themselves because they were cold.So long story short you want the tenant to bare the burden of all utilities.Trash can be included with apartments as that is simple.Utilities can eat a landlords cash flow ALIVE.
