The rental had ratty furniture, a record player prominently featured in the marketing but it had no speakers, missing basics items in the kitchen, lots of drunks in the concrete hallways that reverberated right into the bedroom at 2am, a strong odor of urine outside, and more.We have super hosts in this forum that have hundreds of 5-star reviews and are masters of the craft, but I look at their rentals and see they don't have any artwork on the walls, decor is basic, they do nothing to make the guest feel welcome, etc. 

I look for behavior tell tale signs. 

We recently signed up with Steadily, which is the preferred insurance partner of FurnishedFinder.

Reason: I signed a new job offer at a nonprofit yesterday and having extensive knowledge of the real-estate market in Philly would be very helpful.

One piece of advice I never forgot is to never ever sign anything without a copy and without a lawyer looking at it first.

Also Seller hasn’t paid property taxes in 2 years which is a sign the property is in distress.

For the value add we're going to fix up the roads, add a nice sign and fence, replace mailboxes, add lights and fix some plumbing leaks.

Most residents that are eligible sign up for this rebate.

My GUESS is these homeowners have been tricked/screwed in to signing a long term power purchase agreement, often with no buy out provision.
