$1.40 per gallon equivalent for compressed natural gas here in OKC.

Hi All,I am a new investor who will purchase his first US property as a rental and I am wondering if I should open an LLC or would purchasing adequate insurance and an Umbrella policy do the trick to protect me.

What next, free natural gas?

Then there's stain, but won't they taint the natural color of the wood and make it look like something else?

This means that I will be doing showings to prospective tenants, inspections, evictions and things of that nature.

I realize I should probably apply the initial $50 deposit by nature of it being a "pet deposit", but would you deduct the rest of the extermination fee from the normal security deposit or count the $25/mo funds toward this and give them a full security deposit refund?

Nature's Miracle and a steam cleaner works pretty good for pet odors, but if you're to the subfloor you'll have to follow Account Closed advice.

IT is human nature to be afraid of the unknown its largely what has kept us alive as a species.  

Is the HOA adequately funded for community capex (building roof, siding, parking lots, etc) so that they don't have to assess the owners?  

I just might incorporate something of this nature into my tenant education!
