The lesson I hope to teach people here is that if there isn't any action going on, that alone shouldn't automatically compel you to make a move.

We've been doing this for over 20 years and know how simple it is to maintain good long-term tenants with monthly terms that automatically renew every month and can be changed at any time with 30 days notice.I've read many BP forum posts that point to the drama that occurs when someone breaks their lease.

And if they're not, they're gone in a few days, whereas you could be stuck with a terrible LTR tenant for a year.Oh, and I'll second the idea that Airbnb makes it super easy and automatic to distribute money to different people. 

You could use:Smartbnb to auto reply, leave reviews, etc.VR Easy to notify staff and cleaners of turnoversVirtual Key- integrates with VR Easy and most electronic lock to change codes for each guest automatically and email them the codeVA to answer questions and screen guests based on a process/guides 

Basically, the bank automatically cuts you a check at a and mails it to you on a specific day of the month.

The number that gets automatic acceptance is the 87-88%. 

Anything other than green is automatically disqualified (for my criteria).

I don't know if a spouse would be treated any different for the situation you described.In general we force each spouse to submit an application, and we have asked for additional deposits or denied based on poor credit from one or the other.IF someone falsified an application, and I could prove it, then for us it would be an automatic disqualification, and we would encourage our tenant to move out, or at the very least not allow the other person to move in.  

This could have been achieved with creative finance: but not with a conventional loan and more than likely not without a partner.Recommend these secured credit cards:-Citi-Discover (offers rewards)-Capital OneUse automatic payments on the full balance and only utilize 30 percent of your card limit; 10 percent is optimal.

I've been automatically putting aside 10% of my paycheck for years.I'll be looking to invest either in the greater DC area (Baltimore maybe?
