Once you arrive at an offer price (hopefully a good discount from market value), make sure you have pre approval to the highest amount you're willing to spend. 

Hopefully it will arrive soon.  

Tell them to unplug them when they arrive and plug them in when they leave. 

The invoices haven't arrived yet but I suspect the final bill will be in the neighborhood of $1,000 and the tenant will have to pay it all.I hope this proves helpful to others.

Back before online banking, the lender would confirm that you have the money, confirm that the expected sum arrived in escrow, and that was it.

TurboTax also lets me know by email when the IRS accepts my return.Although I've never had my identity stolen (as far as I know), I can't file my return early because the K-1 forms arrive toward the end of March. 

I've found this balance to work well for me, as when people move out they only need to take their personal belongings, and I send a professional crew to clean before new tenants arrive, the cost of this already covered at the beginning of the tenancy.

If the guests haven't arrived by sunset I will use my phone to remotely control my z-wave lights so I can turn them on prior to their arrival.

It depends on what the lender wants and if they have any prior appraisals of the property in question.Traditionally appraisers use three different methods to arrive at value and reconcile the three - the sales comparison approach, the income approach and the cost approach.

From day 1 on this my thought was exactly the conclusion that the IRS arrived at.
