We also bought a pool table, ping-pong table, grill and patio furniture, and washer/dryer for our rental along with a couple of TVs, a DVD player, etc.One area not to skimp: chairs.

You can make a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches with it as well.

Smokers tend to be smokers.

Tenant gets all up in my grill and my BP buddy disappears. ;-(   I stay calm and figger I can take her if it comes to that (I am a biter).  

Also Pine Financial (hard money lender) has a monthly meeting at the Boot Grill in Loveland.

The following is my opinion, as a CA investor:- Consider pets & smokers- Remove wording in ad for credit check.- Post on several rental outlets.- Repost on CL once a day. - Add pictures of exterior.- Be patient!

Hi All, Does anyone know if it is illegal to have a NO PETS and NO SMOKERS policy in the rental application form and the lease agreement for Florida?

Say it is located on an interior wall between the heat registers an a return air grill and becauae of the air circulation, thermostat is quickly satisfied.

when your tenant is leaving, offer the tenant $10 if they keep the place clean during showing & $100 if it gets rented upon their departure.This one's from the Rob K book of landlording.another is make it a requirement to visit any tenant prospect's current place of residence as a condition of approval (if they're messy, clutter crazy, & the place smells like a chain smoker, deny them).

I hear the screaming kids in the background... the dog barking... the smoker's voice... and attitude.
