I always made sure the rent was current when they left, and of course the deposit was never returned.I put everything in writing (e-mails, nothing too formal) stating that as long as they clean the house, and the rent is current, then I'm ok with them leaving.

So this means I can clean up tenant issues in time.Concern #2 - LL pays all utilitiesI received all of the numbers from my realtor on this property.

A CPA or tax attorney on the other hand routinely does this at little or no additional cost to their clients.

Ask to see the transfer orders and verify it before your refund their deposit and make sure they clean the place.

Honestly I already have lined up a realtor to rent it for me, and also a crew to go in and redo the kitchen.In my lease expiration notice I mentioned he does NOT need to pay last month's rent, and I still have his security deposit and would send it to his new address after deducting damages if any, and scheduled a walk through inspection on the last day 6pm and that I expect the place to be cleaned, free of debris and trash and personal possession blah blah blah.Then suddenly this month I got a check on the 10th, when I didn't expect it, with late fee already included.

In total we spend about 7,000 per floor on furniture -- that included 4 beds frames, mattresses, desks, dressers, chairs, floor mats, 2 couches, coffee table, end table, and entertainment center.Here's what we found:Pros:* Shows great because everything looks new, so I can command top rent for my area* Furniture is cheap so if it gets broken, it's easy to take out of the security deposit* Couches are easy to clean* Nixs and dings are easy to cover up with a markerCons:* Takes a long time to assemble all the furniture.

I simply tell them who I am, what I do, and how I add value to the situation (close quickly, clean neighborhood, cash in pocket, rehab family home, etc.).

And without a garage full of tools I can't do many of the things and must rely on others (clean up, make ready, painting..).When all is well than rv'ing makes no difference and is a great way to meet others, see and speak with investors in other areas, etc. and see this great country.

, clean up)Expenses ?

This property needs little to nothing as it has vinyl siding and a newer roof only thing i will be doing is painting and cleaning the second unit to rent it.
