Some people prefer an electric dryer over gas and in some of our properties we have both gas and electric hook ups for dryers so they can have their choice.

From what I see all the people answering to me here (and there are so many) are just coming against and refusing to agree with my simple statement: "a landlord is not above the law or norms by its personal choice or presumed capability to judge what he don't know" or as well "a landlord cannot deny or miscarriage a service to a stranger without a known valid reason and at the same time pretend to be operating professionally or loyally to the moral"Basically I'm telling if you are not able to do your business correctly it would be better to find someone else than you, mainly when your ideas about "squatter" or fair treatment are coming from ignorance or completely invented. 

Others are responsible with their budget and can stretch a dollar.If they are excellent renters, I would offer them the option to renew and let them make the choice.

@Rishika Garimella I am a local home inspector and investor in the area. i think Austin is a sleeping giant right now. the rates are really scaring away buyers. but since competition is so low right now, its a great time to snag some property while its not being ripped apart by investors. i think the hutto manor area is a great choice, once that freeway opens up that connects taylor to round rock, it will definitely become a point of interest.

What kind of resources do you recommend for finding a good first choice? 

This city continues to grow and evolve, making it a strong choice for real estate investment.

Landlord had to move to a different state to have better access to healthcare, i.e. did not move by choice per se.

So they really had no choice IMHO....Welcome to the landlord world I guess.....makes ya wonder why we do this sometimes, huh?

While you can't take forever and a day, because a desirable candidate has choices, deciding too quickly can be disasterous.

Real estate investing is largely about the choices we make as owners.Over the years, I’ve worked with many teams and companies, and I always recommend SDIRA Wealth because they build the properties in the best markets, and consistently excel in meeting my top five criteria.
