Never react to what your tenant says, only to what they do as it relates to the lease agreement in place.

I called the leasing broker and asked if the owner would be open to an offer.

However I mainly wanted to ask about getting housing leases from traveling nurses.I currently have a 5 bed 2 bath, 1920 sqft home in a great neighborhood located less than 1.5 miles from 2 large hospitals here outside of Richmond.

It takes a lot of time for them to reply to my messages (which are not many) or send me a copy of the lease. 

Scenario 3), the you could come out marginally ahead of making monthly extra principal payments of $300.00, provided you were not pulling the lump-sum from a LoC and then repaying the LoC over the ensuing 10-months ... as the additional interest would negate the marginal advantage.Scenario 4 and {my favourite} Scenario 5 were included to illustrate the benefit of more frequent principal payments.

Gradually raising rents, exploring lease buyouts, or selling with tenants in place are balanced alternatives.

A lease-option agreement can postpone the sale, allowing the seller to receive rental income initially.

I'm not saying this is necessarily the right answer, but I did not really put anything in my lease as far as guidelines for sharing responsibilities of common areas.

In contrast, when I owned properties in the Midwest, evictions were easy, but the tenant pool often made frequent evictions unavoidable.That said, San Diego is a high-barrier-to-entry market and isn’t for everyone.

You need to be aggressive with your pricing to compete for the few available renters.I recommend dropping our price to $1,750 and offering a month-to-month lease or six-month lease.
