Hello BP Community,I'm currently facing a dilemma with a rental application, and I could really use some advice from fellow landlords and property managers.Recently, one of our tenants requested to add her husband to the lease.

I have a similar story - health care for 30 years, looking to scale via BRRRR. 

Hi Michelle, Have a thorough inspection of the property conducted by a qualified inspector, particularly focusing on the condition of the home, agricultural infrastructure, irrigation systems, and the health of the avocado and lemon trees.

Their health is more important. 

Local economic indicators can provide clues about the health of a real estate market.Step 5: Property SelectionSelect a property that aligns with your investment goals.

Some people are just filthy, then other things possibly come into play (i.e mental health, homeless mindsets).

Ultimately , I’m like you Julie, i prefer to self manage but may have to hire a pm if I go the str route as health issues I’ve been having lately may get in the way.

I'm here looking to get involved and familiar with a community of people that are in the world of finding these types of properties. who I can learn from and build health and mutually beneficial processional relationships with them to start my journey in investing and further theirs.        

@Ayyoub Reza in Michigan, if a lease is at least 12 months in length, you can charge tenants for maintenance and if not a health & safety issue, require them to fix it.Why would you have a lease end during the Oct-Feb timeframe, when it's the slowest time of the year for real estate sales & rentals?

Rental inspections are typically health and safety related.
