No mistake was made in selection of the toilet, it was just a newer model of the old toilet that was there before, perfectly compatible without going into extensive plumbing.

Any of the neighborhoods mentioned will support long-term rentals, but some you may need to complete a more extensive rehab to to have it truly cash-flow.

The UK regulator is the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority; the UK's version of the SEC).

I would highly recommend conducting a full tenant screening, which includes a criminal and background check, credit check, eviction history check, and an Income check. 

Having said that, for others who would rather use a different method, there are some great tools out there which can help to bring a certain level of automation to this process (you can use the same platform to list your property, conduct full tenant screening, create + sign digital leases, collect rent online, and manage maintenance requests/tracking on maintenance issues; and you can message your tenants directly via the lease console or the maintenance console). 

There are ways to get an extension, but you don't want to go down that road if you don't need to. 

Have done an extremely extensive full gut remodel (practically brand new home, literally everything updated/repaired from foundation, roof, windows, all exterior work, LVL beams to demo load bearing walls and create open layout, med to high end bathroom/kitchen renovations (master shower is floor to ceiling tiled in w/ double rain shower and ADA compliant, granite countertops, 6-8 person island, all new stainless appliances), all new electrical wiring, plumbing, etc., solid core doors, widened old 22' door openings to 24', new laminate wood flooring throughout, 5/8' baseboards/trim throughout, tankless water heater, tape/bed/texture/new paint on all new drywall), etc.I'd love to hold onto the property as I have no compelling event forcing a sale. 

Not more than 96 hours after receiving notice of the presence or possible presence of bed bugs, a landlord: Shall inspect or obtain an inspection by a qualified inspector of the dwelling unit; andMay enter the dwelling unit or any contiguous unit for the purpose of conducting the inspection.If the inspection of a dwelling unit confirms the presence of bed bugs, the landlord shall also cause to be performed an inspection of all contiguous dwelling units as promptly as is reasonably practical.Except as otherwise provided, a landlord is responsible for all costs associated with inspection for, and treatment of, the presence of bed bugs.

Suggest not locking the rate until you have conditional approval in-hand, it might close in 30 days or it might close in 90, no way to know upfront and lock extension fees suck.

I knew the house was in need of extensive cleaning and repairs from a previous walk-through and I simply wanted them gone.MD requires landlords to provide an itemized list and return any unused deposits within 45 days.
