I am confident that as a client, we will meet your expectations, and I respect that you are asking for other investors feedback and advice.Investors are sometimes a little quieter in the forums than they are when you direct message them with questions about companies. 

I respectfully disagree with @John Underwood regarding seasonality.

.- If still skeptical, ask for personal references from employers, community leaders, or other respected individuals who can vouch for their character and reliability.By using these methods, you can make a more informed decision about renting to this couple, giving them a fair evaluation while also protecting your interests as a landlord.

On the other side of the spectrum, communicate your intent, and most importantly you must respect their time.Cheers!

I talked to David Whitmer over there and he answers all my questions with respect and seems like he knows what he is talking about. 

So I message my original lady back and tell her basically I got blown off(respectfully).

Guest takes more care of the property, since you,  the host, are the only judge to decide if you retain or not the deposit in case of damage or issues.Another Good: You can write in your contract that non respect of rules may lead to lose some of the deposit: Like noise, or a very unclean check out, etc...

I highly respect what Kevin is saying but in this case would lean towards Nathans response(that's just me). 

It is the only calculator of its kind to help you determine: if househacking is a better investment than a traditional home purchase, how long to hold onto the investment before selling, how long to live in the property, and which unit to occupy.If this will be a traditional rental property investment (not a househack), select ‘renter’ for all units under the Summary Tab’s ‘Property Information’ section.Metrics used for the deal analysis:The purchase price is based on the median sale price - $1,450,000 Unit bed/bath counts are based on the median 5 bed/3 bath counts for sold Astoria 2-family properties this year.Projected rents are $3,200 and $3,900 respectively as shown in our median rents for 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom apartments.Not included in the analysis is ADU income.

While I have made the property substantially better, and in turn am collecting good rent, I am limited in what I can do going forward with respect to ROI, and there are always expenses that can be made/issues that come up.
