I'm sure it can be done, however its going to be a little more difficult than in a part of the country where SFH prices are naturally low.  

Every county has their own procedures and some seem to have purposely made them as difficult to navigate as possible.But don't get discouraged, once you figure it out and look up a couple of hundred probate cases, it will seem natural....

Also, naturally the age, condition, finishes and amenities (pool, fenced yard, etc.) are a factor that will cause the rent variation you're seeing. 

That way you can have the dish removed, get him to sign something.Also IN PERSON tell him that he can't be calling you when the men are already there to install things, everything needs to be approved by you before he calls any contractor or anything of that nature.

(Hint: I as a lender do not pick the property tax rate, I can only pick how honest I am about it)When rates go up a quarter, on top of having lied to someone by a quarter, the natural path of least resistance is to attribute the full ~0.5% difference to rates going up.I typically qualify people 0.25%-0.375% higher than where rates are currently at for their particular scenario, and I show all my qualifying math, so my peeps going into contract right now currently think I'm a wizard because I'm mostly still honoring what I "quoted" or relatively close to it (I actually never "quote" people at the preapproval stage, I only qualify them, because quotes at the preapproval stage don't mean squat, but I get that when someone sees a number with a % next to it in a big spreadsheet with a bunch of math going on, they think it's a "quote").

I'm sure years of acquired experience and natural skill have paid off well for you, I hope to be as well versed as you are on these specific topics amongst others one day.

I have a real passion for real estate and currently own two properties, so naturally I would like to grow this aspect of my life and feel that initially I can maintain my full time gig while diving into investing.I would love to meet and network with other individuals in my area. 

As I prepare getting married next year and consider long term wealth creation, I naturally started paying more attention to real estate as an investment tool.
