You pay an HOA fee and it covers electricity, maintenance, utilities, etc.

Hopefully the income will cover the debt.

The extra 900 bucks makes a big difference in the renter’s psychology as well as covering potential damage while the $75 a month is often not a deal breaker, especially if they intend to recoup it.  

The Texas Tax Code can't cover every possibility, but I wish it would say what is needed to complete the process.

I would make sure your homeowners policy covers "shared areas" and not just the specific bedroom you are renting.  

We came to an agreement that we would amend the lease and use her security deposit to cover May's rent, if she agreed to leave 6 June (lease was through Oct). 

Covered parking is also a desirable amenity.Hope that helps!

You can do that with construction adhesive or you can let it float and secure it with nailed stair-edge nose trim, which you're going to need anyway to cover the edges of the laminate.

I try to get a policy that covers theft and vandalism on a vacant dwelling. 

I’m under the impression that I’m a double closing that you would need funds upfront to cover the cost of buying the property from the seller then going back to the end buyer and finishing that contract and that’s where you would make your profit.
