A tenant a few years ago had a pet bird, (not sure what kind), and on a visit to change out the furnace filter, we witnessed the bird flying freely inside the large house.

OR why hasn't an experienced flipper, say like me, just fly in and snag the quick cash......Just asking.....

Completely serious, if Nathan was located in central FL I would flip a lot less.  

@Faustin Hoover You will typically will not have a credit card on file for the tenant and can't charge the amount to them.

None of that: "my friend has a friend that knows my sister that is also know my friend that had a pet fly that landed on this guy's corn cereal that then got sick and went tot he doctor and that doctor is the neighbor of someone that saw a guy on tv that got more leads with an other method!"

I don't see why any owner should care what temperature the renter runs the A/C at, or how many hours they run it.Trying to dictate that without putting it in the lease seems like it would be a hard sell in hot humid areas like TX, FLA, central Calif. etc...but might possibly fly in ND, or Minn., etc...And because it seems like an outlier type item in a lease, it's probably best to verbally point it out vs just saying initial here and pointing (kind of smoking over the issue), seems like a fair way to rent--IMO--if that's what you want the renter to do... vs verbally trying to dictate a temperature.But as I said earlier, it's probably a hard sell in many areas, meaning some prospective good renters will go rent elsewhere if you dictate that in the lease upfront. 

While I plan on marketing, selecting tenants, managing repairs, and bookkeeping from a distance, we cannot be present to show the property (without flying out).

It seems like Single family homes are flying right now and condos not so much.

I’m not asking to fly to the moon here.

I absolutely love to fly and will continue to do so until I am physically unable to.
