Quote from @Sami Gren: I start by making the original tenant fill out a form requesting to add a new renter, and they pay me a $50 processing fee (I charge a $50 fee any time I make changes to an existing lease). 

A request for honest feedback was requested and within the matter of hours/days, many of us were willing to comment. 

On a conventional, you can request the PMI be dropped in 1-2 years (if you have enough equity) for the cost of an appraisal.    

Here is my system that I have shared on the forums previously:It all starts with online ads, within which are several pre-screening questions I request be answered in their response to my ad.

I get many requests for showings, but when I ask them to first confirm they qualify (3X income, etc.) they don’t respond.Listed 22 days.

I've noticed lately that when selling and moving, the Realtor and contract require/request that you leave TV mounts where they are.

I just sent you a colleague request, and I look forward to connecting with you soon!

No matter what you do I think you are going to have guests point out that something isn’t working which could lead to annoyance or requests for refunds or bad reviews.Plus, providing bottled water over the long term probably isn’t going to save you much money compared to paying a plumber to get the fridge connected. 

.* Additional Charges: Jenny requested that I deposit on her checking account an additional $20-25k for her to purchase furniture, which I refused because I thought it was very strange, opting to give my card # instead.* Work Quality: Jenny never showed up to the house, she sent 2 people instead, she never mentioned she would not show up herself, she never asked for approval to send two others instead, they did not complete the job, and there were multiple unauthorized charges on my card.* Receipts and Expenses: Once I brought to Jenny's attention that we were 20k above budget, she refused for days to give me the receipts, saying that I needed to give her my credit card statement first.

I've found that replacing the capex up front in Cleveland creates way less headaches / maintenance requests over time.
