We took the highest month of "normal" winter usage we had records on -- people in the house, heat running at a reasonable temperature, washer/dryer running, etc.  

Failure to clean up pet droppings willresult in a service call (Pooper Scooper) billed to the tenant.

All our data was well-organized and cleanly presented (no dropping off boxes of unorganized documents in their lap).  

Despite the fact that the market has dropped significantly both in rent and price, I still think the market should be considered high risk/high reward.

This could be coupled with the a dramatic drop in the S&P 500 which would feel pretty awful.

Six months later my insurance dropped me and here is where it gets sticky.

Over the past decade, the birth rate has dropped from 8.354 in 2015 to 7.016 in 2025, reflecting a continuous decline. https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/ITA/ita...4. 

Yes, you can drop the price, but then the numbers don't work.

The tenant frequently informs me the interior temperature only reaches 68 degrees.

Even if I have to lower the rate by $200 to find the right tenant, I am still ahead of the game by a C-note by year's end.Just my 2 cents, I hope you have already found a tenant for your home by the time this post drops!
