I am on the way out to look at prospects, but I will do this asap I guess putting it on paper will also give me a better idea of how it sounds.

But I'm not sure if I can stay here long term due to limited job prospects.

Should I tell tenant I don't give references, or do I have to give a reference, and do I tell their prospective landlord anything other than asked of me (tenant damaged, etc.)?

If your numbers are off, when you prospective buyer tells you why its too high.. just go back and re-do you offer .

I just have prospective tenants since I keep all my properties as long term rentals.Given that, I use only two methods -- Craigslist and a "for rent" sign in the front yard.

It looks junkie and has no tag.5.Thinking about adding solar lights outside for the night time for security for the buildings and to deter crime.
