I'm go on a limb and say that the peace of mind these tenants provide you is worth the difference you're gonna get in rent. 

I get stable rental income for a year, and they get peace of mind for a year that rent is not going up.

Alaska is quite peaceful.

Hoping to learn from you and in turn be a resource :)Peace & love and many thanks.

While there are firms like Visiting Angels, a tenant of ours suggested advertising on, or checking Craigslist for a caregiver, as the hourly rate would be less.So while there is some peace of mind with a service like VA, the cost savings of an individual has some appeal.I was thinking of doing a check similar to screening a tenant...crimes, judgements, credit check, evictions, etc...Would you consider a private person or be more inclined to go with a firm, and if you did go with an individual, what kind of background check would you do?

This isn't always a foolproof method as I'm sure anyone that's been in the business a while will tell you.This helps for peace of mind and more often than not gets the job done smoother in many cases as most GCs hate having to work around another laborer for small jobs....it tends to cause more of a problem in the long run in many instances.As for buying right to limit the risk of purchasing a bad deal -- make sure you have a good agent or someone with experience that can show supporting comps to you from the MLS, get multiple bids, and also look at the competition in the area.

Then, they can add two moreproperties that are owned by DSTs, at no additional cost, to provide more options for the exchange.Estate Planning BenefitsInvesting in a DST provides peace of mind for those who wish to secure the future for their heirs.

If nothing else, at least it gives you peace of mind.

While I guess I am happy he found a way to be at peace, I am very sorry none of us was able to help him work through the issues that affected him so dearly and more so sorry he pushed us all aside and would not accept any help.

This gives me peace of mind for the next 30-50 years and saves expenses related to water (or my favorite: sewer) damages.After installation of OSB subfloor and repair of any rotten studs the plumbers and electritions have the stage.
