You are looking to see if they are maintaining the home like a normal person or if they are abusing or neglecting the rental.

But best practices for Security Deposits (and last month's rent or other funds held in TRUST) is to keep it separate from your operating funds to avoid commingling and using funds for other than their intended purpose.

And personally, I think this unit is nicer.

I've personally seen concessions up to 8 weeks free plus a 6 hours of free moving as an example for what some apartments are offering as concessions to fill up their communities.As the market continues to evolve and more apartment communities become available I suspect there will be more concessions for renters to take advtange of as supply begins to outpace demand.

My wife and I personally have 3 listings and 1 pending sale right now.

Then she added, "I'm an honest person...".

Then have the service person come and fix it while you have it.

I personally never want to talk to my hosts as it reminds me of managing my own.

I have personally replaced the pilot assembly in a gas-fired water heater.

Originally I wanted to operate a personal care home, however would much rather rent the home to an operator with hopes to negotiate higher rent.
