If you are just considering fun places to be there are still other factors to consider: Oceanfront has tons of free activities during the summer and lots of people out and about, Ghent is good spot for bars and food in walking distance, North End is close to the state park, the bay, and the ocean w/o being crowded...

You can verbally give them a no harm no foul promise...not to charge the lease break fee if the place is rented w/o cost to you (in which case they may even bring you another tenant).

You have no issue doing a sub-to or L/O in IN

For me, it really helps my worry-o-meter to have the rents in on the 1st rather than be waiting until the 4th and wondering if I need to start an eviction.

I don't know what the costs are in NY, but where I am, if I do a single small transaction, the commission I earn or save covers a year's worth of costs as being an agent -- including brokerage fees, MLS fees, E&O insurance, etc.Talk to a couple brokers and see what they charge...if you have your license, you've already done the hard part...

They call it U&O (Use & Occupancy).

But you are overlooking a huge benefit to you, this guy no matter if he is an E-3(enlisted) or an O-5(officer which is about the rank he claimed) has a boss, and those bosses don't like hearing that a service member is stiffing their LL on the rent.

No GC for rehabs because U don't need C of O on rehabs in this state only on new construction and only a GC can get a C of O unless its and owner occ builder and I am not that..

As a Memphis Investor, I want o comment on vacancy.

Either I never have to send it because within a few questions o can qualify them or I send but never get it back.
