Quote from @Nathan Harden: Hey BP!

I just now have to let my heart catch up with my head, or harden my resolve to do what I always said I would - move how the numbers dictate.Thanks, guys!

@Kellie Harden that’s amazing .

It makes the rental more bullet proof.It's called Hardening your rental.

You should get yearly leases and have parent co-sign and harden the rentals for the inevitable damages. 

Keep in mind the following facts: - These are "hardened" rental units that are all brick with all new roofs, hard floors, HVACs, plumbing, electrical, appliances, kitchens/baths.

We do this by competing with the section 8 bible minimalist by going slightly above the minimum and taking time to get to know applicants and saying no to a lot of people.Am I an optimist or will I be hardened over time ?

Ditto for the window break, as you described it - that goes on the list of things you should do to harden your property.That said, I always offer tenants a pre-move out inspection and offer them to be present for the move out inspection as well.

While thinking of ways to harden rental for a long term hold, I thought if possibly replacing an existing bathroom vanity made of particle board with a vanity made of genuine wood.
