But make sure you revisit and tighten your criteria.  

This will certainly cause a strain on her relationships with any roommates.

If you want to tighten up your process, use a service to advertise (Postlets/Craigslist)..or your local adverts...and MySmartMove is great...free for you..tenant pays the application fee.and no...a credit score is not a perfect indicator of tenant quality, but a criminal and eviction report is a must! 

As inventory levels have tightened and competition for turnkey homes increased, more investors are willing to purchase properties in the middle of rehab (such as the majority of Roofstock listings sold as-is).

hi my tenant called July 29 and said he wants to move out august 10 .I told him the month to month lease clause stating he is supposed to give a 30 day notice .I told him my agent can show the property if its ok and he agreed to it. 2 days later my agent goes there to show the property and she called and told me the tenant gave me the key and its vacant. when I called him and asked for rent he says the month to month clause in the lease do not have mine or his initials while the lease clearly says after the one year lease if the property is not been evacuated then its gonna be month to month (I have his text  june 17) saying he and his wife decided to go month to month .all the paint is messed up the carpet in the whole townhouse has strains and marks on it.the plumbing is leaking he never told me cuz he  has 75 dollar repair deductibles any suggestions thanks

As straining as the conversation was, we were talking about the worst-case scenario; as much as they needed to be addressed, the likelihood of me defaulting on a 0% interest loan with very manageable payments was almost slim to none.

A few years ago TD was wonderful - low rates and fairly painless approvals, now they have tightened up their lending a little (particularly for those with 6+ properties).While the interest rate is important, there is more to financing than just the rate.  

Tighten up the comps... do a 0.5 mile radius of Similar Sold Comps... if you have 5-10 comps around $1.2MM all selling under 90 DOM... then start movin!

It is an annual back-straining exercise to remove and install these units every year.My thought is to go with a high velocity system with 2" diameter tubes for distribution.   

W/D would be relocated here.My reasoning is that while three bedrooms may be more popular, more occupants/strain the septic system, and not having to descend into a basement to do laundry may attract better tenants who really don't need the third bedroom.I realize three bedrooms typically bring more rent, but with a 3 bed 1 bath having the laundry in the basement, I'm not seeing it attracting the best tenants.I'm at the top of the rent range for this home/neighborhood ($795 central Illinois) and am faced with trying to attract better long term tenants, or continuing to rent to short term people who are using it as a stepping stone.I want to make it a better value for potential tenants so that rent increases are justified.
