A lot of late nights cleaning and prepping but we have gotten through it.

If this happened, then that would tell me that they didn't do a very good job with the initial budget and the HOA doesn't have a very healthy reserve fund

We also get a security deposit and charge a larger cleaning fee for long term stays.

His strategy with income is simple and clean.

I could certainly use moving, cleaning, and other relocation services as an option.I also agree about it just being another tool in my box of skills and an amazing lesson.

Yes Oregon is a market that sees healthy appreciation, but from a wealth building perspective you cannot rely on that.

Well,  the market for rentals and sales in San Diego has being hectic for the last few months, the lack of inventory is creating an increase in prices.Now in regards the rental market, with the obligation for the land...

We don't want tenants who pay with cash and most-likely they are not telling the truth.Inspect your rental unit to see how much damage your tenant is doing no later than 90 days after the tenant moves in and then give the tenant 7 days to repair any damage and evict the tenant for not repairing any damage even if you have a 1-year lease.Personally, I hate single family rental units with a passion and expect to pay a very minimum of $6,000 to clean a house and put it back together every time a tenant moves.
