Quote from @Nathan Farkash: Why not buy it in your personal name and hold it in your personal name?

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

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.

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

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

I just stare in disbelief and think that this cannot be real life...

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

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

The person then gets called and qualed and so it begins.I am reasonably tech savvy but not as much in this realm (not yet I guess) and nobody end to end owns the process.
