With respect to maintenance, I charge a 15% markup.

I just had to learn the hard way to respect the red flags.

@Grace EstebanI send them good season greetings message.I also treat them with respect and fix any maintenance issues promptly.It's a business relationship and should be treated as such.There is nothing wrong giving tenant a gift but I don't.

My question is: is this wise with respect to reporting for taxes given I am a sole proprietor?

I mainly want to make sure I can find a good contractor but still be respectful of everyone's time.

This means that, by investing in their respective countries, you're more likely to end up with a huge currency gain than a currency loss.

With all due respect, you have to be doing something wrong if they are consistently wanting to move out after only a year. 

They'll also commonly want net worth and liquidity equal to the loan and 10% of the loan, respectively.

Honor and respect his/her time.

Could also help with any other questions with respect to how to manage, etc.
