You are asking the internet if you should be living with someone, that's highly subjective and I would only do it if its a good fit, not just because it makes you money... http://lifehacker.com/how-can-i-spot-a-horrible-ro...

Cleveland has horrible property management.

That is a horrible idea for holding rental properties. 

Also, you run a liability risk as the owner of the property advertising a bedroom "mother-in-law" apt. without an egress window if something horrible happens.

Thus we can have a horrible process and still experience success at times, or the opposite.

Having horrible tenant is a risk period.

I've been driving an hour for work since 15 (worked with my dad and rode with him to begin with) and it hasn't been horrible.

Seriously, asking a tenant with kids to move on a moments notice when they just signed a lease is a horrible favor for being a good, understanding tenant.

If it's a tenant's top choice, they will rearrange their schedule to make that showing work.I send automatic text and email reminders on the showings, which has reduced my no shows by 80% -- anyone who is going to cancel clicks on the [Cancel Showing] button.Balloons and waters -- they don't cost a lot (so not a horrible idea), but rentals are much different than the buy/sell market.

With the faucets, make sure they are installed by a professional and put it in writing that they stay with the house and you need to pre-approve them (in case they are horrible).
