Do ensure that the pest control company you call is experienced in bed bug treatments.

Jon, your comments are so helpful.when I own my own crews and pay them like their boss, how do I ensure there's not liability when they fell off the roof or cut their hands?

I want to ensure any addition wear n tear that might be incurred by their occupancy is compensated for. 

Im hoping to get any tips, tricks or strategies you guys are using to help future tenants feel more comfortable with the idea of living in a house with other strangers and ensuring the security of everyone during COVID.Things I will be doing:Include in expectations and policy limiting the number of people allowed to visit each guestIn living area, have individual seats/ couch instead of a 2 or 3 seat couchProvide cleaning and disinfecting supplies in kitchen and restrooms Provide disposable plates, cups and silverware Thanks in advance for any help you all give!

Although some due diligence needs to be done in order to ensure you do not get hosed.....

I have a reasonably strong cash position, and want to ensure I am as prepared for success as possible. 

This ensures it is a structure they understand and can use at year end and your book keeper will have no issue picking up on it.

I've been doing a ton of research to try and feel as prepared as possible to ensure we get a good investment.
