Common area electric and other items I would expect to be part of the HOA fee, and those would be covered in my normal monthly bills, not billed back to the tenant directly.

I'd reduce the rent by the per diem rate of their normal rent e.g. $2K/mo is a per diem 2K/30 days = 66.67/day or $200 for a three day vacancy.

One issue is that I have tax filings to catch up and also don’t have normal income.

Is this normal?

When it was fixed, he came back with a huge bill, more than 2X what is normal.

Some of my tenants did the same thing with 2 female dancers and a bodyguard from the club they would normally work at

Currently, the rents are affected due to COVID, but the college has announced plans to come back to normal activity this fall.

@Christopher DunsonThere are considerable tax differences between having short-term rentals vs long-term rentals.Short-term rentals can be deemed non-passive depending on the average rental days.Short-term rentals normally need to be furnished which would be eligible for bonus depreciation(immediate write-offs)etc

A normal FHA purchase means the property has to meet all health and safety code violations.

And yet some want to or have to move from where they are and so even though they normally would want to buy, the economics of the day are forcing them to rent.
