I didn't know that or I would go easier on the deductions!!!

Account Closed It totally depends on the location, class of property, when it was built and what the market will accept.Most of my stuff is class C in a smaller town so I do not over-improve but I make it nice, clean and liveable.That means new paint, vinyl plank flooring, selective cabinet upgrade or painting with new hardware (white is in these days). 

I have no idea, but this seems like a possible option;  I'd hire my sister to do the short term mngt; cleaning; renting etc - Much to investigate here - maybe even for just a few months while I deal w/ my chaotic life (fix/flip) here in CO. 

I actually prefer shorter terms as it is easier to pull out equity on the anniversaries ... all of ours are 3-year and 5-year.  

We only do cash deals, so much simpler,faster and easier!   

If they do give notice during your vacation, arrange with a friend to arrange the cleaning and repairs for the turnover in exchange for whatever that's worth to you (less than the cost of an eviction, I am guessing).2. 

I usually send a friendly greeting and link to an application, along with a list of credentials needed ($25K minimum gross annual income, 650+ credit score, and a clean background). 

The overall ROI increases because they will end up prevent you from evictions, missing rent for a month or two, etc.You could also add in cleaning and other services that are separate from rent but makes life easier or the tenants and depending on your type of tenants most would be willing to pay for similar types of services.

When we viewed the properties, it was clear the tenants kept the place clean and in good shape. 

From the client perspective, using a title company that handles title clearance themselves seems easier so they prefer it.
