Some have told me it is required to get tested before they move in.

@Patrick Pierre If you come to Austin to pick it up in person, let me tag along for a test drive!

I think people are sometimes also more likely to pay more for rent for a furnished place, so I would suggest testing that out. 

If you are in good with a battle-tested realtor or two, they will usually have good connections. 

The tenant has claimed that she tested positive for COVID-19, but I have no proof of that and no idea when she tested positive - could have been several months ago.

I've outperformed the S&P 500 for five consecutive years, to include the COVID-19 induced downturn (the real test).

You'll have registration, fingerprint, testing fees as well, so budget $500 initially. 

Please note that the account into which the funds are deposited must be the same type of account from which the funds were first withdrawn (e.g. withdrawal of pre-tax funds from a 401k could be deposited in a pre-tax IRA but not a Roth IRA - "like to like").Loans:Payments on a 401k loan taken under the CARES Act must be paid back starting in 2021 over a 5 year term.Here are the details regarding the loans:NEW LOANS:The CARES Act which was enacted to provide relief to individuals impacted by COVID-19 allows for increased 401k loans and more flexibility for repayment of these loans.Specifically, you must be an individual who meets one of the following conditions to demonstrate that you have been impacted by the crisis (and it will be your responsibility to retain documents in your files that demonstrates that you are a qualified individual):Individual who is diagnosed with COVID-19, with a CDC-approved test;Individual whose spouse or dependent is diagnosed with COVID-19, with a CDC-approved test; ORIndividual who experiences adverse financial consequences as a result of being quarantined, furloughed, laid off, having work hours reduced, being unable to work due to lack of child care due to COVID-19, closing or reducing hours of a business owned or operated by the individual due to COVID-19; or other factors as determined by the Treasury Secretary.On or before September 23, 2020, such individuals take a 401k participant loan subject to the following terms:Maximum Amount of the Loan: 100% of their 401k balance not to exceed $100,000.

Just a civilian CFI, but I used to work as a defense contractor for some of the military brances in flight test, etc.

:My go-around ten years ago was unpleasant (two evicted tenants in a row, each took six months) so I've been working up the courage to jump back in. 2 horrible tenant experiences in a row early on would test anyone's sanity and why.When anyone finds out I do rentals they can't help but vomit a tenant horror story on me.
