No tenant has ever forgotten or discounted a landlord who calls them up in mid-December to take $100 off next month's rent.One of the best reasons to have regular battery-power smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in your rentals is that they give you an excuse to enter and do a casual inspection when you replace those batteries twice a year.

Then you wouldn't have to pay anything and you could take that savings you planned to use for this property and use it to buy up investment properties in the mid-west.  

I would like to stay with the East coast, or even as far as mid west.

If you are buying in mid-town Manhattan with a view of the park, different rules (and measures) apply. 

Even in mid-September it starts to get dark around 7:00PM.

The thing is, I have a big lump-sum payment coming up in mid-August from my (big tech) company's stock reward program. 

After graduating from Temple University in 2017 and earning my commission to be an officer in the Air Force, I finally entered active duty in mid 2018.

I have found it unnecessary to take time off from my normal job to show a rental mid-day.Greet the prospective tenant when they arrive.

@Tanner Peabody Hey Tanner, I agree with Chris, I am an agent in Mid TN/Nash area.

I would expect you to be in the mid-4s on a commercial mortgage, even with a 30-year term.
