This states the home has been approved and available to be a rental.And some of these must be applied for every time a tenant moves.So check your state laws.There are Landlord Tenant Laws, Building Codes, and laws that are not laws at all but based on a Judge’s opinion of whether or not a tenant did wrong or not.For instance, normal wear and tear.Judges have various opinions on what they deem normal wear and tear.This is an Industry of thinking skills.This is an industry of holding your temper and implementing your lease agreement no matter what.You need to think like a Judge.You need to think reasonably.You need to be a good listener.You need to be in control.Once you buy a house you need to know how to keep that house and how to keep your tenants long term.You need to know how to be all things in order to keep your tenants happy, yet make them know the rules of landlording and how to be good tenants.I always say that one is only as good as the tools they have.You could be the greatest landlord in the world in mind and action, but if you don’t have the equipment, or the education, or the money to invest in the proper tools to make you successful, then you will never make it in this business.It takes my breath away to read the stuff on here by new investors.And I understand that how can they know what they do not know?

If making decisions and implementing your decisions based on a sound business model, I find you should never regret.

So much so that the U.S Green Building Council has implemented a new standard of green certified housing knows as LEED or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.

The devices that do the monitoring are relatively cheap and many are wireless.Has anyone implemented anything like this in their rentals?
