There are still clothes in the closets, books on the shelves, and dishes in the sink among other things.

Also a trick I learned from the BP podcast... get some alone time with the tenant and ask them to dish on the property.

I have been blessed with 30 days off from my normal W2 Job and in stead of traveling abroad, scuba diving with Nemo or search for the greatest food dish, I plan to dedicate the time I would be working into learning about Real Estate.

How do we claim a deduction for small items like dishes, a lamp, or decorations.  

I learned about the importance of HOA reserves the hard way; if an HOA is low on reserves, you may end up having to dish out a much higher down payment.

If they both say no you’re stuck with dish and fake Internet.

But assuming due to plastic components and its age, the tenants informed me today that for the last few uses the dishes are not as clean, and they also noticed there is now rust left on the silverwares.It is an old dishwasher, but is otherwise functional.

The problem is in their programs that they dish you off to a less than expert person and oftentimes your "coach" is a different person each time you use them.

Neat freaks can be good, at least you won't have to remind them to do dishes!

Went to change the locks and found a few items still in the unit, including a washer/dryer, some dishes, a baby stroller, and a few other smaller items.
