Now, three years later, my tenant reported cracks in every room—paint cracking and full-line cracks in the bathroom, living room, and bedroom (walls, ceiling).A drywall contractor looked at it and said it’s normal wear and tear, but I’m concerned since it’s in every room.

Im local to Charleston and live downtown.

I tried to work with the tenant but they have stopped responding and refuse to pay rent anymore, I don't even know who lives in the unit anymore.

. :)This is especially true if you rely on furnishedfinder.com as your primary lead source (which you shouldn't, but that's another post) as when you make that connection with a prospective resident, you are selling yourself as a landlord as much as you are the property as a place to live.

I’m looking to purchase a 10 acre parcel either in Columbus, Dahlonega, or Helen.I’d like to live on half the land, and develop the other half into five A frame luxury short term rental units. 

Hey Aishan, I personally own 12-doors in Detroit and I live in California.

I wasn’t prepared to lose so much of my savings as carrying cost basically I paid for the tenants to live there for 3 months + my own living expenses in that time.

I will be living in the guest house, while renting out the main.Both units are without washer and dryer units, my question is, do I supply them in the main house; or let potential tenants figure that one out?

I live on the east coast.

Hey Jeffrey, I am from Mount Vernon (Parents still live out in the Tulip Fields off of Memorial Hwy), but currently live in HI.
