Thanks Adam I really appreciate it I definitely was planning on setting a lease to take me to prime move in dates because filling the vacancy at this time is defiantly a spooky thing for sure. and I've defiantly have been thinking of a good reduced price to change to it makes it a bit more difficult because we include all major utilities Water/Sewer, electricity, gas, garbage and we have owned the property under 6 months and some of the cost are obviously Quite variable in Wisconsin so I the number that I've been mauling over has been $1,400. the pets thing for me is purely a worry about pet related damages seeing the property isn't yet to where I would like it to be in terms of flooring and keeping pet mess damages to a minimum with quality lament flooring so my worry is about damaging the subflooring but I'm unsure if that is just me being overly cautious especially since I do require a sizeable security deposit and would obviously increase the deposit and rent for pets and in regards to the REIA meetings I'd love to go I'm actually starting a new job in the Winona area and will be driving to La Crosse daily so if you wanted to DM me the details I'd love to come and check it out!!

I am doing my research on setting up an LLC and one thing I read about is choosing a registered agent to deal with the paperwork once it is set up.
