On an affordable flip the economics are not there, especially for this market.It would be great to find a local guy, but we are out of state and it's very tough to know the quality of the material from a phone call.

It's been eons since I shopped for a dishwasher, and never for a rental yet, but given the unit which needs the machine isn't super high-end, I'm leaning towards the 400-500 price point (quality/value/reliability).

And, by the way, this has nothing to do with quality of tenants.

Logic/assumption being that a cheap tankless water heater will be of worse quality than equivalent priced electric water heater based... and that a 5 yr warranty would eliminate many of the headaches and has been proven to work so far (assuming people haven't complained about hot water all along, rather this is new thing as the heaters are starting to fail).If it was different asset class or he was flipping it...

@Nefertari McClarity Fasttrack remodeling has an excellent reputation for both quality and speed.

Also, you would not know the quality of work the contractor performed ten (10) years ago.  

I use to do all the deal hunting, research, swinging the hammer, screening tenants, property management, daily maintenance/inspections ect.

Hello All, I am in the process of screening a possible tenant for my property.

I am thinking of the following themes: Abundance, prosperity, improving quality of life/neighborhoods/properties, integrity.

In this scenario you would do your normal screening on the new applicant, and write an addendum to add them as an authorized occupant.If you feel comfortable releasing the tenant from the lease you can write a new lease with the new parties and transfer the deposit to that lease.
