A young, strong, bright, reliable guy with the belly to do this, whose paycheck I sign, whose health insurance I pay, whose family I take care of, who calls me with any questions he has, whom I can mentor into being able to take over my portfolio and expand on it in 5 to 10 years.

For example, I have a friend that's a landscaper and another that's a home health physician that drive neighborhoods all day.

Plus, the spike in coronavirus cases threatens to push the U.S. health-care system to the brink.

That way the house would be in our name if she has health troubles and all the interest is paid to her not a bank but we should be able to deduct it still.

If they start asking questions about how to get a pet or pay rent late or complain that their toilet keeps flushing on its own, I tell them I have a terrible memory and will probably forget it by the time I get back to the office so they MUST follow the process and contact the office during office hours. 

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

As Nancy mentioned I like to confirm about pets.

That can be things like limiting # of tenants/rentals, no pets for tenants, approval of tenant app by HOA--how do you do that with vacant property, but HOA board only meets quarterly....do you make the tenant wait 3 month with vacant unit for approval for 3 months?....

I gave her 7 days to pay and the pet fee is now considered late.

Other recent relocations to the Austin area include BAE systems, which added some 700 new defense and aerospace jobs, two new Amazon distribution centers, which brought more than 1,600 new jobs, cloud collaboration solution Airtable, Flex Health, and the online customer survey solution QuestionPro.Tech companies aren’t the only ones who are flocking to Austin, either.
