So it’s a good idea to create a process to do it w/o being present.What i suggest:1) Schedule a time to meet 2) Apologize that you won’t make it shortly before3) Have them send you a photo of their drivers license 4) Give then lock box code and have them call you when they leave the property This helps since they think you’re going to be there.

I would recommend looking further into these things if you haven’t just to be sure you are positioned appropriately.As far as incentives go, we haven’t seen the need to offer any in over 18 months but I like @Mary Mitchell’s suggestion of applying any discount to the second month’s rent.

The good news for you is that Indiana is a Reciprocal state with Pennsylvania ( use form WH-47), which means you do not have to file separate tax returns for each state. you may have to file for the income made in that state to them but you do not have to report income from PA to them. it does get complicated - Nj and PA are reciprocal states and my properties are in PA and my CPA is here in NJ. i suggest you hire a CPA, tell your wife it is not that you do not trust her, you just want to relieve her burden of doing the now complicated taxes.
