Hi folks, A tenant moved into my brand new house and defaulted on two months rent within 3 months of moving in.

Tenant Turner supports integration with various lockbox brands, including CodeBox, Sentrilock, and Point Central.

If you stick to American name brand units that are basic - no fancy sensors, doodads or anything else - W/Ds are surprisingly durable, even with renters.

I negotiated this property by trading my owned property for this one, as it was a brand new property in an area being developed.

I don't like brand new properties, since the first few years depreciation can be steep, similar to a new car.

I pay 4000 a year in taxes for a brand new single family home I can only collect 1100 a month on....4 months of rent to just cover property taxes,  insurance is another 4000k.... that's 8 months gone.  

While brand building is important I want to know what they have done.

The last few years I’ve seen it as pointless, as it was never a hard rule to be followed explicitly but a suggestion, and it seems like the only ones today who give it any credence are those brand new to REI and have heard it discussed on the older episodes of the podcasts or read about it in the books BP published 5+ years ago.

Great property, perfect setup for a duplex with separate driveways, entrances, back patios w/ storage, brand new roof, plumbing, newer HVAC, appliances, flooring, etc.

.: @Jay Hinrichsinteresting point - would obviously help brand new homeowners who are $5K short, or just over the DTI threshold, or whatever.
