While the smart thermostat indicates the temp is reaching around 65/69 degrees, the tenants placed a couple other temp gauges around, which are showing temps in the low 60, upper 50s, and now that the outside temp is going consistently negative (remember, MN), showed one overnight reading of lower 50s.

If climate change is even real they are talking about and increase of a few degree C.  1)  Your house is not going to melt.  2)  Warmer temps will result in more evaporation and more rainfall.  

Throw each of them a sixty-buck credit on this month's electricity while they wait two weeks at freezing temps for the estimates to come in.

We have a group home for elderly on our street here in Tempe.

We're expecting the finalized regs on Sec 199A any day now....although the shut-down has added a little uncertainty.No update at the moment as we're still (at this exact moment) working with the same temp regs we've had for the past 5 months...In it's most simple, distilled form, IRC Sec 199A and the related temp regs allow a 20% deduction (subject to various limitations) for a rental real estate property that rises to the level of a 'trade or business'.What defines a 'trade or business'? 

I then write down the important info on my notepad on my phone and schedule a showing.Typically people that rent rooms are not the most stable and/or are in-between something (divorce, moving, student, temp job, etc).

It was a flying piece of shrapnel.Besides the freezing temps, wind also plays a factor, if you have pipes in a crawlspace, basement, garage or unheated space.

I have one mid term rental in Tempe area, looking to invest into SFH  long term rental.

What about buying [1] a temp used stove, [2] a floor model from Lowes or where ever [3] your stove until the new one arrives, and you use something like this (or just hit McDonalds 3 times a day:https://www.amazon.com/Presto-16-inch-Electric-Foldaway-Skillet/dp/B00591GG58https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Maybe you could fire a temp to hire position for a month or two and see how well they do and see what numbers you could be missing.
