The delivery of the cabinets, countertops and vanities was a little problematic.

Approximately so I will charge the tenant $100 no refundable fee for delivery.

The only payment that gets delayed if the property isn't delivered on time is the last payment due on delivery, unless stated otherwise in your contract.

I got lucky that the tenant wanted a house in my neighborhood to keep kids close to their schoolsHouse was listed for 1750, they offered 2250 but I declined , so they offered $3k, ended up renting the house for $3250 ($250 pet rent) per month, for 3 month, open to extension if needed.I met the tenant and did the background check on them, I felt comfortable renting to them THD takes time with approving the property, but they were quick to approve the lease, and they sent me the checks the next day after lease signingMy house is not furnished, and they were ok with that , they actually work with a company that provides furniture for the tenant, and they coordinate the delivery and setup of furniture on the lease start dateOverall I like the experience working with them , but hey today is day #1 (out of a possible 3 months), so I will update this post if anything wrong happens or if I notice any red flags

Poor delivery.

You could arrange to have your cleaners accept the deliveries at the property or hire a local handyman to do same and even assemble furniture.

Their office staff ordering the microwave and coordinating delivery and install would qualify as "labor," so I don't think there's much there. 

Alternatively, you can offer more such as central air when the competition doesn't have it.Avoid areas with a lot of new rental deliveries.

For small properties such as a duplex I don't bother with making sure the two delivery points are registered with the post office.

If people are spending this much time talking about my verbal delivery in response to questions, I think they are missing the point.
