My current dilemma is that in May, all of my tenants/friends are going their separate ways - therefore I either turn it into a true rental property (managed remotely w/ help from a local person in case of time sensitive issues) or I sell. 

Inflation sucks because it compounds.Once interest rate waters recede back to the 5 - 5.5% levels, home prices will spike dramatically higher (just like other rate sensitive assets) as literally millions of households get back into the market looking for a home.

As a landlord, safeguarding your investment and upholding the integrity of your rental agreements assumes paramount importance.

One need only look at some of the recent news stories in the last couple of years to see that abuse of sensitive data and personal information is rife, including inside the government.  

It's apparently a "Protective Safeguard", and the wording in the master policy is "Functioning Smoke Detectors must be in all habitational units and common hallways". 

Ideally you've already had some practice with it underwriting deals so you understand sensitivities and what affects cash flow vs equity gain.If you don't know how to underwrite the deal, you have no idea what the property is worth. 

I'm preparing the application for my first rental and have a question: Is it good practice to communicate some of the more sensitive screening standards to the applicants (i.e., as stated on the application) such as "our screening standards include no evictions or serious criminal history." 

Shaun for a landlord you seem to have very thin skin, don't be so sensitive.

Special assessments, economic sensitivity, shorter tenancies, HOA/Condo rules changing, ability to warrant the condos, etc.

Travel RNs tend to be very price-sensitive since they are on a per diem and they pay for their own housing.
