@Chris Lawrence, I am a big fan of the rent to own option.

@Will Kirkendoll Always a fan of separation when dealing with tenants for a number of reasons...but it's relative.

From everything I've read, this should be covered by a landlord insurance policy that covers damage done by tenants (specifically, this tends to be categorized as Vandalism because the tenant is knowingly doing damage to your property).Here are some photos of the aftermathtldr; A tenant smoking meth cost my colleague over $25,000.The key takeaways here I believe are: 1) get a good insurance policy, being stingy might cost you years worth of profit, 2) screen your tenants well and inspect frequently (especially for lower class properties), and 3) be prepared for unexpected costs, this might be a rarer case but **** happens.Also I'm not a lawyer or insurance expert so you should consult professionals with regards to your state laws and local insurance policies to figure out how to cover yourself from a situation like this.I'm interested to hear if any of you have had to deal with something similar and also any suggestions you might have.

In my experience, Jonathan can take RDU Broker to a recommendable level by: (1) Investing in client expectation setting; (2) Setting resident/property check-ins on regular intervals & after critical weather; (3) Moving the self-service portal to more frequent updates.In the beginning, I hoped to experience a great relationship with RDU Broker.

Plug it in for 24 hours in front of the main return and turn on your furnace fan.

It is unfortunate that you offered them a new lease recently so all that you can do is frequently inspect the property since you can’t trust them to notify you of needed repairs.

I am a huge fan of the ghetto units.

@Brett K.Not really a matter of how big/small the contact list is, as much as it is how frequently that data changes, or how many data sets someone is trying to piece together. 

I have always been a big fan of personal finance and used Dave Ramsey’s plan to get completely out of debt (other than my mortgage).
