If there are bigger problems like big holes in the wall where fists might have gone through, ask what happened and explain that it will need to be repaired prior to lease renewal.

As long as your guests know what they’re getting into before they arrive, meaning you have the info in your listing and your check in instructions, you will thrive. 

I’m worried I won’t find another development partner prior to needing to closing.I know the value of the land, how can I just close on it as is?

Do you reach out to the tenant 60 days prior to lease expiration, to confirm their intention to renew the lease?

Hello folks in the BP Davis community.I have a SFR that was our prior residence in Davis CA that has been rented out for 8 yrs and now we plan on selling after lease runs out this June.We need a good design build firm or contractor we can work with to run the project as we live out of state (Vancouver WA) and spruce it up with light rehab as much of the house is untouched since built in 2003.We are definitely NOT doing crazy expensive upgrades but will do a moderate upgrade so that we can max the value add/ROI that's worthy of the  good neighborhood this house sits in (Wildhorse). esp as we transition from current renters to selling to end user (eg likely family).Does anyone have good trusted contractor or design build firm they can vouch for that does well executed remodels on time, on budget?

It was on the market less than a week prior to contract.

Prior to when the lease is up Section 8 should be sending you a form in the mail asking if there was any damage/rent owed on the unit.

When prescreening tennants a general rule of requirements is as follows: Income must be three times the monthly rent or greaterNo prior evictions or feloniesGood references from previous landlords600+ credit scoreHow do you confirm their income over the phone?

For every tenant who falls into the latter category, the current system seems highly vulnerable to gaming and tenants could intentionally create protracted repossessions.In Utah we still have to hold personal property for 2 weeks prior to possession--after which the tenant must pay the cost of storage to recover it. 

I'm planning on relocating in the next few months and wanted to get some ground work laid out prior to arriving.
