Though the homes are in great shape, I get calls regularly from these tenants for maintenance issues, asking to pay late on the rent, etc.When you finally do get someone who trashes the place, the extra rehab cost and the increased vacancy rate begins to erode your returns.

Either that or it's just regular BS!

I can look at this two ways - - 1) Having a dishwasher may open my tenant field and reduce vacancy time. 2) People that knowingly rent a property without a dishwasher are willing to do dishes, and therefore likely willing to do regular household maintenance?

Good management, insurance and proper business structure = a good night sleep.

The more you read this forum if you give everyone the information they'll need to crunch the number, I think the guys/gals who have been here the longest can do it in their sleep by now...

I have a job that requires me to move somewhat regularly though so I don't have too much choice.

No terms has been mentioned in the lease agreement about cancelling within a week or month other than the regular Early Termination details.

Basic is just a regular user.

Like your ad copy, are you sending them to a standalone lead capture page or your regular website, how keyword optimized are you ad search terms, etc., etc.

If you don't then make sure you document everything if you do anything other than the regular payment.
