Quote from @Miguel Del Mazo: @Bonnie Low I went to check out MiniStays a while back, and it seems like a good site. 

I created an electronic google doc time tracker: Time LogContemporaneous time log of rental real estate activitiesActivity DescriptionTenant recruitmentTenant screeningNegotiating and executing leasesOverseeing repairs and maintenanceCommunications with tenants and vendorsTravel timeResearch for potential rental real estate (pub 925)Acquiring rental real estate (pub 925)Paperwork/bookkeeping/bankingResearch and purchase of materialsRent collectionEvictionOn-site cleaningBill paymentOther:Time SpentDateMM/DD/YYYYSubmit

City-Data and Census.gov are solid resources, and sites like Rentometer can give you a good sense of rental prices.After that, I narrow it down to neighborhoods with strong fundamentals—good schools, low crime, and convenient amenities.

To set the scene: A cost seg study breaks your property into two important categories:1250 "real" property aka the building, foundation and other long life assets.1245 property aka anything that can be accelerated such as 5, 7, or 15 year property like carpets, cabinets, or other site improvements.

By adhering to our standard procedures, we’re able to maintain consistency and fairness across all tenants, avoiding any perception of favoritism.Thanks again for your feedback!

There a number of good references on this site.

A whole working business with properties, a booking site and a brand that creates loyalty.

The Rockcastle Megasite is an example of a site ready property & is only 20 minutes north of London. https://dataispower.org/rockcastle-mega-site/. 

If your contract states that "time is of the essence", you could have forfeited your right to break the contract and get your EMD back simply by not adhering to the dates specified in the contract.

So, I called the appraiser and explained that I would meet him on site to go over the paperwork.
