Recent Furnace Issue - On Jan 24 I got this email from Susannah:Hi Thomas,I hope this email finds you well and that you're enjoying the weekend.The resident in 5567 Beaconsfield is experiencing an uncomfortable heating situation.

At first it may seem overwhelming but you'll quickly develop a routine to handle inquires, refunds, schedules, etc...If you start your own website and marketing campaign (highly recommended), the process becomes much more time consuming.

But, the effect of this Qualified Immunity is that SOME police officers routinely operate outside of what most people would consider reasonable assumption of risk.

I would only consider hiring out once you have enough units that routinely need something. 

This may be an uncomfortable truth, but there are some absolutely terrible landlords out there - worse than any tenant you've ever had.

Defiantly do the routine screening of the students in addition to the full screening of co-signer including the full credit /background check.Based on the description of the tenant issues you had and the fact that they were students I would suggest that you did not fulfill your responsibilities as a landlord.

Make sure the tenants know you will be checking on the property routinely. 

For Ex--if you're entering your home -- and you've got a family or say the 20 year old  son and his friends hanging out and drinking beers on the porch ---this will be uncomfortable for the single mother on the 2nd floor and for the 2 professional women on the third. 

Do you send inspections to banks routinely as a requirement?

Additionally it allows for routine sprucing up of units, paint, fixtures etc.
