The problem is, big ticket expenses like roofs, furnaces, and driveways don't change much whether you're putting them in a $85,000 lot or a $200,000 house, so they eat more of your bottom line on a cheaper property.  

We had the opportunity to buy a short sale 4 years ago at the bottom of the market. 

If you like you may add to the bottom of the rental application that if rejected they may inquire in writing as to why they were rejected and invite them to mail you said inquiry.

Besides, I once spent four hours tracing and open neutral in a fairly new house in Rancho Cucamonga just because the developer "cheaped out" and hired someone who didn't know how to correctly splice wires.

Hi,we have an apartment building that has eletrical outlets in the bottom floor hallway.  

Should I lower the price to my absolute bottom line now and try to undercut all the current listings?

Are you really working for the owner of the house or your bottom line?

The bottom line is that most agents suck because crappy but slick wins in the marketplace.

The additional income would add more to your bottom line, while increasing the value of the property via The Income Approach.In all seriousness... you'd have her sign a new lease when hers is up limiting the number of pets.

The bottom line is, do they meet your rental criteria?
