You will be responsible for utilities and also have to get tenants that mesh well or you will have more headaches down the road.

Between art/decor, kitchen utensils/dishes, furniture, linens, and all the other random items required (TVs, router, garbage cans, etc), we’re projecting close to $40,000 (per house) to get the places up and running.

I have hesitations with the new tenant potentially not meshing well with my other tenants, who have been long term tenants of 3+ years, and potentially not paying rent.

I told my girlfriend to move out and live with me.  She

It would give you a better feel for hosting on site guests and how it would mesh with your farm ops.

Rent is due the 1st of every month but grace period until 5th, my gut tells me she will not be paying anything for July...At this point what is the easiest?

It is all fishy to me- she also said my son gave her the wrong address- OR she wrote it wrong on the envelope- we have the text message to show the address was given to her correctly.

This lady is blaming you for her "ex" workout partner stealing her items and the fact that she did not notice them or didn't file a police report for several weeks thereafter tells me she probably made it up.

Also if you do decide to go down the concrete route, don't forget to look into steel mesh (remesh) for reinforcement to prevent cracks and longevity of the pad. http://www.homedepot.com/p/42-in-x-84-in-Sheared-W...Hope this helps!

let me shed some light and answers on that point, as I am one of the "market makers" actively engaged in this here & now.
