With the tenants who only need inspections every 6 months, I will email them when the 2nd inspection at the 6 month mark arrives(because they are expecting inspections every 3 months) to make sure everything is okay with the house and use the email communication to build rapport by telling them that:  "I don't think an inspection is necessary for you every 3 months because of your (fill in the blank with the good stuff they do that I want to reinforce)"  Thanks for everybody's responses & helping me develop this system for my business!

The first, is that they would arrive at the apartment and the bed would be unmade with dirty sheets on the bed.

I bid houses in Atlanta and framers were 2 a foot.. we are now paying 4.50 a foot and in Charleston when I first arrived I was getting bids at 15 a foot to frame and ended up at 6 a foot to 8 a foot.. but siding was cheaper and lumber was cheaper... like all things its regionalized.Just look at car adds.. lease rates on the west coast are higher than in the mid west for the exact same car..

Once you reset the tax basis, then you subtract the land value to arrive at depreciation basis.The reason for resetting the tax basis is simple.  

In terms of arriving at what that number should be:  (1) take the PITI and divide that in half.

That way if you don't hear from them come 2 PM you know there is an issue and you can address it before guest arrival.

Since then 3 months the rent arrived on the 1st.

Raise rent twenty five dollars a month until you arrive at the desired amount.

When we arrive we hear from the gentleman living next door( who happens to be the neighborhood watchman) about a brawl that had happened the night before, along with reports of shots being fired.

@Jason Ma, if they can't tell you exactly when the next crash will arrive, what good can they be?
