Again you enver have to accept it but it means you will offer it (ie. review it).This is standard for most investors to offer this.

And a drain within reach of the standard drain hose?

Very simple - tell them to call me if they can't figure it out.I would not tell the tenant what I was doing and if it was ever discovered that I had done it - I would explain that I did it as a standard safeguarding of my property - in case the original thermostat should ever fail while no one was there to monitor the space temperature - the backup thermostat would save us all from freezing damage.

@Ethan Slater here's some info we hope you find useful:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

@Kris Lou Be careful with agents as 95%+ of them really only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions.We don't do biz in Indianapolis, so this is unbiased info we hope you find useful:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I think this may be a built in functionality of the Turno app, but I don't use Turno and my cleaners don't seem to offer that as part of their standard process.

That seems like an expensive roof - does it need to be completely torn up and rebuilt to hurricane standards?

If it is unclear as to whether you have met the standards of the Illinois Code, it is recommended you speak with an attorney for an explanation of Landlord/Tenant Law.

When clients come onboard, that process should be explained in great detail and by signing the PMA, you are agreeing with our standard processes and core values.Far too often that process is never fully explained and/or proper expectations are not set, hence new clients try to tell you how to run your business.

Many of them have restrictions that you must owner-occupy the property for a minimum number of years - or you'll have to pay it back with interest.Also, the standard mortgage requires you to owner-occupy a property for a minimum of 12 months before renting it out.
