I made my title company aware, and got it taken care of. 

Maybe the previous owner took care of it.

Will the title company take care of the Promissory note as well?

So let's say you have a pool, a hot tub, a landscaper that takes care of the grounds, etc.

For my brother-in-law's living arrangement I am solely focused in Kansas (job location, kid's school, day care, family).

I don't care what Ramsey has to say. 

If renting then I’d venture to go more affordable as a renter won’t likely care about siding color.If you’re planning to sell then curb appeal and standing out makes sense.

Check out their vehicle and there present residence to get a idea of how they take care of their property.Screening services only perform a small portion of the total screening process for potential new tenants.

Be careful though because some cities and/or counties don't allow short term rentals or they might but you have to obtain a permit or business license (can be expensive) and people that are doing airbnb in those places and disregard the law or ordinances can be fined.

Its a business & should be properly permitted, the authorities don't care if you "suffer hardship" because you didn't properly permit & license your business.
