Prefer Northampton, Catasaqua area with offstreet parking.

Visiting a rental property at least once a year is preferred; if not having a property manager you’ve fully vetted visit the property, report on condition, take photos.  

In other words, the person with the most toys, wins... not the person who paid the least amount of tax.

My most gracious analysis would be this (and this is just me): (1) I think the owner is a very kind man - I’ve talked with him personally.

This tenant is a great example of why they should never have a personal cell phone. 

We took the depreciation on our personal tax return in 2022.

We are shooting for 3x income, but might settle for as low as 2x, if the person seems like a good candidate.

I would vet them intensely and make sure the lease is personally guaranteed. 

It is a bit of a gamble, but personally, I always get my own bids from people I will hire and either take a credit on price or have title issue the checks directly to those contractors to get work done as soon as I close.  

Haven't personally used either but they are both on my radar.
