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

Blue County = High taxes, pretty simple :)at $300 a month in taxes that’s a cash flow killer, you will need to go to the board next year and request an adjustment if possible, you may get granted but you will need to have a good report presented to the board with comps that are very similar to yours, but again it will be difficult because your property uncapped and it will never go back. 

For me personally, I would leave it a loft so the renter could have a playroom for kids, office space, family room, etc.

Definitely check in with your lawyer to make sure everything’s above board, but these steps should help you handle the situation while keeping the tenant relationship intact.Hope this helps!

My kids may end up receiving an inheritance assuming they already value it...and if they don't then they'll get a token amount.

this is all i needed to see:Business coach Kris Krohn blasted for pulling kids from public school over fat teacher (nypost.com) Ya know, as a holistic health provider and conscientious parent, I'd probably do the same if my child's teacher wasn't a good fit. 

The first tenant I raised $650 and they contacted me to find out why they had been singled out and I had to explain that the increases were going to be across the board.

We do not have kids.

Most Realtor board documents have clauses and you should have filled out a Short sale rider when you listed the property.2.

Kids are selling.
