Money is Non-Refundable if lease is terminated early except for "Acts Of God Or Nature" that might render the property uninhabitable. 

Very often the shared nature was a turn off especially to the larger unit who was paying a lot more. 

Wouldn't a sand volleyball net with that natural sand backyard / beach front access be cheaper?

@Taleah FerrisDo you have natural gas at the property?

Some advisors are holistic in nature and some have a more singular focus. 

Make sure there is more than one established industry that is creating jobs and be wary of areas that rely heavily on industries that are volatile by nature and cycle through booms and busts regularly.

You naturally must stay competitive on what your charging for rent. 

If there are power outages, you don't have access when you most need it, during natural (or contrived) emergencies. 

We are rustbelt no more, a climate haven with plenty fresh water and no other major natural disasters like hurricanes or earthquakes and relatively low cost of living.

Make sure there are adequate utilities that connect into your lot.
