Social media outlets are one of the strongest currently available, also check out big internet players like google.

In some cases that means telling a tenant, "you do need to move out, let's just discuss the best way".

It’s way cheaper to turn up the thermostat than plug In space heaters  .Tenants aren’t going to unplug anything or conserve squat ..in fact they will run ten appliances on one outlet and leave windows and doors open in the winter .

And maybe not in Austin lol, that fourplex is gonna be pricey and not a great flow-er in this market.

But we have 2x months rent as deposit and if he went bust we'd get all the furnishings (I suppose he could move them all out in the middle of the night if he knew that was happening)The lease is the same as our others except two items:  He does light maintenance (leaky sink, bad outlet, etc), and we require 60 days notice for both sides vs. 30.   

Maybe another outlet to checkout for solid data :) One additional thought I had is around income.

Take some classes at home depot or Loews on basic home maintenance, like fixing toilets and faucets and outlets and such, to save money on repairs. 

So I sent flowers and a condolences card and 2 weeks later he called and said he would sell it to me.

I then called an electrician and he advised me over the phone that with all the recent rain, it was probably just a GFCI outlet that needed to be reset (it's a button on the outlets in the wet areas of the house).
