I know that when I was looking to rent my house every add that I looked at that had a major or any property management logo or name on it i turned away because of my income situation i wanted to deal with a private land lord.

Just a thought, though - would it behoove you somehow to refinance your mortgage and incorporate the second mortgage into it?  

Our lawyer already had a lease incorporating lessons they have learned from 25 years in the local market, plus we were able to provide input to add a few things we wanted in there.

I do regret asking the questions the way I did without thinking too much of it because the tenant seemed very focused and motivated to rent the property, I thought it wouldn't be a big deal but boy was I wrong, people are very unique.I will definetly incorporate Sue's question into my applications in the future.

One knows the construction of buildings.An appraiser may incorporate an inspection report in his findings, but I never saw an appraiser in a business suit crawl under a crawlspace in a house.Maybe things like that were happening during the insane bubble, but I'd bet they went back to their more conservative ways.  

If you allow your tenants to write whatever they want on the checklist, do you also agree to incorporate their findings as part of the move-in condition of the house?

So yes draft addendum incorporating the rent raise  and any other addendums you feel are needed.

I think I need to categorize it and automate it more but that can end up taking up a lot of time.... time that I wanted to saveAny Evernote users have suggestions for incorporating it into property management and real estate investing/development?

I will be posting the property soon through a website that specializes in corporate rentals.
