. :)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.

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.

Starting to research Uruguay to invest and as a 3rd country to live in.  

I live in Phoenix AZ, where we take our pool safety very seriously, as kids die every year in pools because it's warm and they swim much of the year. 

Let them know how much you enjoy living in the home and mention that you’re planning to buy your own property in 2025.

I've lived here my whole life and have really seen a dramatic change in this amazing city. 

Our plan is to live in one side and update the other side before renting out again.

a lot of people will poo poo this, but I also live in a market where cash flow is low, property taxes are high and properties are expensive (which is a relative term).

Have enough that after you buy the property you still have 6 months of expenses in reserves that you can use for daily living.

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.
