Taxes just aren't that cut and dried and offering that kind of advice can really run somebody afoul of the laws or put them at a disadvantage. 

It's a pretty dry wetland and not that scary in these parts, but I understand.

You broker deals with vendors for discounts or not, then add a markup fee and auto route calls to vendors to manage and schedule... then when rents are late you pickup a late fee and leave the landlord high and dry, you repair properties accordingly and bill the landlord to keep your operation printing money... everything I mention just now is “industry standard”.

It's not as cut and dry as a broken appliance or roof leak.

Never turn off the HVAC (thermostat) when leaving the house for longer than 24 hours.No grease and oils down drains.No coffee grounds down drains.No hair down drains (try a hair catcher in showers)No nail clippings down drains.No wet wipes/baby wipes down toilets, even if they say they’re flushable.Max allowed vehicles in household = 4No pets of any kind.No salt or salt-based products on driveway and walkway.I also list out all the issued items for the house (most of this pertains to my SFH, not my other smaller units):House key(s) (2)Mailbox key(s) (2)Garage door opener(s) (2)Sliding door key(s) (2)Living room ceiling fan remote control (1)Bedroom ceiling fan remote controls (2)Gas fireplace remote control (1)Large outdoor trash bin (1)Large outdoor recycle bin (1)Indoor trash/recycle bins (2)

Well that is why there are laws Bill and I agree...but this isn't as cut and dried as you originally made it...is it?

let it dry the reinstall the carpet.

I have had issues in the past in which a tenant will call and tell me the dryer is broken, it doesn't dry my clothes the first month they are in the unit.

I concur it is more like Phoenix since the weather is the same - hot and dry so that means replacement of a/c units and heating in the winter.

Many small towns rely on few employers, so you're at risk of population (demand) drying up if jobs move away.
