I know it's a pain to pay the extra couple hundred dollars for re-inspection, but it's always worth it to double check and confirm on your end.

This could add extra economic incentive to build more starter homes. 

Sell off extra things laying around.  

In my state, TN, the law states that if you do not have a forwarding address, you are to mail the accounting of their deposit to the last known address and if it is not received there the extra deposit, if any, is to be forwarded to the state unclaimed money program. 

Talk to a local realtor to ask about after reno estimate on the place, but just because you put in $160K in renos, doesn't mean the place is worth an extra $160K.  

I go to people who hire my remodel business and ask what I can do extra...

If a realtor needs extra income we can arrange for the agent to place the tenant and collect the placement fee.  

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

So I don't know if it makes much sense to buy a rental property for about 200k-250k, just to make a few extra thousand a year (based on a 5% return).

The cost and the insurance is not worth the extra rent.Gino
