Cringe-worthy mistake #2: By hiring him, he clearly saw that I needed additional help, which damaged my credibility as a landlord.As landlords, we have to keep a distance.

We also require renters insurance from our tenants which adds another layer of $100K liability for certain tenant caused damages such as they start a fire.   

Something else to consider, depending on how close to the ocean you are - the salt air will take its toll on building materials. 

If I understand it correctly it is primarily to bring the property up to date and to repair damaged parts of the home.

I just move into my first house hack, and this morning I notice a vent in the living room and no air was blowing out of it.

The surge also damaged a component in the furnace.The landlord when asked to replace the damaged items, said to call Oncor that Oncor would pay.Tenant called Oncor, spoke to the District Manager.

It is also in between both Nellis and Creech Air Force base so many Airmen and their families look to rent in this area.

For example, if you provide free laundry, prepare for your tenant to do some laundry parties or start a laundry business out of the house.Property managers may also not have the best treatment of the property since they understand the property would be in a lower value area, so I'd prepare for some excuses such as damage/poor screening not being their fault because the tenant pool is not good enough.That being said, you can still make a lot of money in lower value areas.

Taking away ground will make a device more sensitive to damage from ESD (shocks, power surges, lightening).

I just became aware of the rule that was passed a few months ago regarding Air B&B in Washington DC on second homes.
