Tenant: "But, I don't have to pay $700."

Some of my clients have used a company called Rezio for Architectual, Engineering, and Permitting, they are great to work with and handle the whole process. 

I have looked into investing in Maine and the biggest challenge I found was many properties did not have tenants paying for utilities.

I pay him money but then he disappears for a week at a time and won’t return my calls.

I have the same question, but this issue is more complex when an investor has multiple investments in different states with federal passive losses carried forward from multiple states.I doubt that states intended to allow non-residents to not pay state income tax by offsetting state sourced income with non-state sourced passive losses.

They pay rent, but there are lots of other problems. 

If you are expecting this person to go out and source the items and then place them in the unit that involves a lot of work, designer time, and designer energy.One way to get yourself on boarded with a designer would be to make some phone calls and see if they have openings for new clients as far as spending the time needed, because in our business time is money vs a family having their living room dining room and entry hall redecorated, where time is not probably of the essence.

Hi Alya, I've personally done a lot of STR and MTR for my clients so I have a lot of experience with this.

So our gross monthly income of $5000 - $3093 of EVERYTHING we need to pay each month = around $1900 in net monthly income. 

The loan insurance is in case we dont/cant pay back.
