I’ve lived in my current single family home since 2020.

Quote from @Jacob Dalton: I purchased a single family home good quality location in Chicago’s Northwest Suburbs in Cook County as a personal residence.

We have a single HVAC system that heats/cools the entire home.

Your journey in real estate is inspiring, and it’s amazing how you’ve built on your mom’s legacy.

My family has been active in the Las Vegas real estate market since 1989 working mainly in single family rentals. 

Context matters: for some apartment buildings that compete head to head with a very similar property just down the street, this may be a good strategy.We rent premium single family homes and I have never offered an incentive.

To be honest, I have been really happy with the person who has been helping me, but there's an issue with capacity because she is a full-time employee somewhere else and I believe a single mom. 

Hi @Michele Hart - I'm sorry to hear about your mom.

That's a potential of 5 - 6 months where the tenant doesn't have to pay me a single dime and will be squatting in my house for free.
