Some optional items from a LTR lease now become requirement: you have to own the utility account, definitely have contractors to maintain yard, pest control, periodic soft wash the exterior, pool/hot tub (only speaking from FL, or any other property routine maintenance in other region). 

Good investors in control of their business don't give away cuts of the pie willy nilly.

If you would like to ensure that they are dead dead, and don't return, your best bet is to find a reliable pest control company.

I invest in central Wisconsin and the only reason I don't do more is I can't find deals (even here, the market is hot) also as market is hot everywhere, one of the way to make money is by controlling the opex which I would reallocate the fund to invest locally in California market, actually I would make more money if I just invest locally rather than OOS. i am no longer chasing one or two hundred cash flow but straight 50k 100k a year.....i'm done collecting doors lol

We also put some gaming chairs and a couch and a table for classic style Families love this set up because they can leave the kids in the game room and then have fun playing on the pool table or other parts of the house that they’re younger children playing in the game room a mini split to help with temperature control and get really cold at night and really hot in the afternoon in the summertime.

After 24 hours we told her she needs to get there before animal control takes the dog.

Self-storage is a good investment as a syndication and other syndications may be good for you, but it seems like you want a little more control.

yeah, the lack of internal and external controls boggles my mind.

Also half of them don't have the deal under contract or under control.

I have just in the past month added a paragraph stating that the tenant must supply and use mouse traps, cockroach poison, foggers or other pest control products that are readily available in grocery stores and DIY supply stores.
