Any excess is the return on your investment plus you get all the equity appreciation;I am sure you and your girlfriend can figure out how to divvy up the other shared living expenses like groceries, cable, phone, hair shampoo, etc.The important thing is you both talk it all out and you can then document into some sort of formal agreement it if you want.

If you do things the old ways with call in bookings, in person key exchange, and physical keys you will create so much work you will pull your hair out.

All jokes aside target the grey-haired investors...they have probably forgotten more [horror] stories regarding tenants doing this, that and the other thing than either of us would care to experience! 

You would be splitting hairs between memphis Indy Jax etc. so find a team you like first. 

That second building on our land is a hair salon that my wife runs her business out of.

If you think the guy/gal qualifies, but they are bald or have facial hair, would you not rent to them?

Florida hmm... hurricanes, humid, big bugs, gators, blue hairs driving wrong side of road (soon to be one)Texas- would not want to be in a border town, property taxes 1.6%, hot, humid on gulf...

I guess you can say I just accept the fact my clientele will likely be a younger person with blue hair, covered in tattoos with a bunch of whiny kids and a menial job for income and that’s okay !

More than a decade ago I was in the public library using the computers and this big, very pale, ash-blonde-haired dude sat down next to me in an almost-empty computer room.

Shes been at the same job for 6 years as a hair stylist, income checked out, background check, etc..Question is:  What to do about the sec deposit and rent collected?
