Are you sure this is the right person for you and a person you want to be having children with?

You can't be having wooden fences in pet-approved rentals.Spraying vinegar (or gasoline) with not help outside after more than two or three days.

., you might be having lunch with one of those guys tomorrow.

@Kevin Hunter I guess it is not for me..considering the fact that I have too little knowledge along with the workload I'll be having in texas.

We'll be having a happy hour every month as well as a speaker event every month :)

I am working to create a private tenant database for my local community to be accessed only by landlords.The system will allow landlords to list the tenant’s info, property address rented, rate the tenant, upload photos of damage, and describe the circumstances of their departure from the property (ie – do they still owe rent).It’s accessible from a phone for landlords to upload and check.The idea is to create a way for a quick prescreen of potential tenants.It’s searchable by name and or address (of their previous rented location).I’m developing this as a way to help hold bad tenants accountable for their actions and to provide some level of honest & accurate screening.There are some potential challenges with landlords abusing the system.However, if pictures are provided or required to document damages I think that will go a long way to avoiding this.Also, I doubt landlords are going to take the time to slam a tenant who doesn’t deserve it as it would provide no value to the landlord.In my lease I include a line highlighting the “landlord’s right to report”, which outlines that I will be reporting on the tenants actions to a 3rd party data management company.Think of this as reporting to a credit bureau.The feedback from my renters has been interesting.They are worried about future landlords seeing this and it seems to be having a positive impact.I’m curious to know if landlords in other communities would find this of value.I’m also curious to know any thoughts you have on this.I’m hoping this would be something adopted by cities to help landlords manage bad renters.My community has been on a rampage of blaming landlords for all of the ill’s in the community.Yet they provide zero assistance in actually addressing bad renters.

My monthly payments are $1200 (PITI, Interest is 4.75%) and I will be having 1 roommate pay $500 and the other pay $425, while I live in the other room for now.

Plan for the worst case, which would be having to evict and doing complete unit turnover, and hope for the best.Once you take ownership, just work on getting the 2 month-to-month units situated and worry about the leased tenant when the time comes.

BUT: I told the Realtor about our small well behaved dogs the very first time I called about the rental (before we moved in, before we even scheduled a showing) and let her meet them before hand so she could see how well behaved they are.

This is the end of the year and you should definitely be having a discussion related to taxes.
