Quote from @Denise Evan’sThe lesson--the landlord should check all smoke detectors at least annually, and replace all batteries at that time, and invoice the tenant for the expense.We just replaced the batteries in 52 smoke alarms last month.

Plus these insurance rate averaged $6,000 /year, so $500 / month...

Hello BiggerPockets Community,I'm a newbie landlord I've decided to offer my property as a medium-term rental (typically 1 to 6 months).

Is around 100k a high enough budget to have something attractive enough rented out each month?

$1,000 a month?

The 1 bedrooms get significantly more per month on MTR than LTR.

Tune in for the NFL draft later this month and see for yourself.

I would look at the existing STR's and see what their bookings are like in the next couple of months.
