Thomas S. so you don't think it will be more beneficial to advertise as a turnkey property?

When repairperson came out, he was driving a truck that was obviously a third party because the advertising on the truck didn't say anything about Maytag, Whirlpool, or Home Depot.  

So maybe your state has a similar association for landlords...I never do more than a month to month lease, never had any issues, people stay and if they want to leave a stupid 1 year or 2 year lease isn't gonna make them stay any longer, and chances of recovery for unpaid rent is not likely, landlords are required to advertise, and rent out a vacant unit as soon as it's vacant, so losses would be not be huge for the tenant, the laws favor the tenant, The best reason for month to month is you are in charge you have more control of if you want them to stay or go, you can guarantee the rent rate for a 12 month period to give them something to rely on for stable price but month to month weeds out the problems and keeps the good ones.

And beware of so-called providers that have flash advertising with a "YOU MUST BUY NOW, THIS WON'T LAST LONG" message - turnkey is everywhere and there is enough for everyone.

An agent I specifically told 3.5 months ago that I did not want to work with them has taken my pictures from my old Craigslist post, put their company watermark on them, and listed it for rent at a slightly different address (Advertising 284 instead of 284-3), with their phone number as the landlord.

WA Attorney General: Racist for landlords not to rent to felonsA recent court filing indicates that the Washington State Attorney General’s Office believes that denying a prospective tenant with a felony conviction is racially discriminatory.A member of the Attorney General’s Civil Rights Unit served a Consent Decree on Dobler Management Company, a property management firm in Tacoma, after conducting a simulated test on whether the landlord was illegally discriminating against potential tenants.According to the briefing sent to KTTH’s Todd Herman, in May, the state asked a tester to follow up on a rental property advertisement on Craigslist, which said the apartment complex would automatically deny renters with a felony record.

Homeowners with a mortgage lien decide to sell their home or to work with another person offering to sell their home for them to buyers who cannot obtain traditional bank loans to finance the purchase.The person in charge of the sale will put up signs advertising the home (“For Sale” or “We Sell Houses”).The buyer will contact the person in charge of the sale.The buyer provides little or no proof of qualifying for the loan (“No Credit!

How do you all advertise your available rentals?  

If they never funded anything then the SEC could be all over them much easier.You have to make sure you are dealing with credible people.If it's an ultra low interest rate and the process sounds very complex with upfront fees that is a tip off it's likely a scam.Another fraud I have seen is lenders advertise ( no upfront fees)  and then halfway through the process hit the buyer up with ( the loan has changed slightly ) and a small fee is needed because of XYZ prior to closing.People do not fall for this trash.

Also, the basement was not advertised during the time the rent ad was posted.There is also the fireplace which i did have inspected, but it received a not operable status.
