Lawn, snow, electric, gas, water ???

Hey what are you going to do with that lot, or you know it is landlocked, or you know it is unbuildable, or you know that is under water, or whatever? 

Normally we keep 20-30k.So, how old is the water heater?

For non-primary residences, they have to follow all of the following rules to receive a permit: - the property must be a minimum of one (1) acre in size (designed as a precaution to disturbances)- The building standards of the underlying zone district must be met - Adequate parking is provided - Defensible Space requirements are met - Valid water and sanitation must be demonstrated - No more than five (5) bedrooms are in the dwelling As time goes on, they continue to become more strict on the rules listed above here, and are actively regulating it.

But, if you pay utilities, it might make sense to add a bit for the extra water / electricity.Personally, I would use this as an opportunity to tear up that 3 year lease. 

I price my midterm rentals in Denver and Colorado Springs through a blend of rentometer.com, checking out the competition and paying attention to the season.

Its always been my understanding that renting in the winter months can be challenging compared to spring/summer.

Can't include furnace, hot water tank, central ac and some other built-in appliances - check your local ordinances.

This is very valuable for me because the houses around us only rent in the spring and summer. 

When there's tenants already occupying the property, there's often times different leases that were signed among the tenants.Additionally, renting by room usually sees higher tenant turnover which in turn causes more work for the PM.Other challenges to consider:- Disputes/conflicts among tenants (different personalities if a tenant doesn't know the others prior)- Occupancy limits- Splitting utilities (what if someone uses more water?)
