Biggest thing is defining what you want.

This can be the biggest issue... even a color-change can be a no-no in some places.Good luck.

One of my biggest quirks I suppose is that sometimes I tend to over Analyze too many things .

I don't let the fact that Donald Bren is the biggest developer in America influence what I do everyday, anymore than you should be thinking "why should I sell commercial real estate when the person buying the property is making so much money?"

Sounds like teh biggest lesson in all this is to not use nice carpet in a cheap rental.

My aunt has been renting a rooms in her house to students for years, and the biggest problems she's had is someone moving their girlfriend in without permission, and one tenant who was a party person.

I agree with Lauren that making sure the property is clean is the biggest part of making it rent ready.

The biggest one is seller mindset.

I know there are some bpers into turnkeys but when you check they only have 2 or 3 turnkeys tops...even with the bp folks who are the biggest advocates...they don't have more purchased.It seems odd as it gets a lot of attention but when you start to pull back the layers....well it is like the Wizard of Oz...just one guy behind a curtain making a lot of noise. 

Or put it in a non interest bearing account.If you do have to evict for other reasons at least you'll already have possession of the money which is the biggest problem with most tenants.
