Normally you can go to list source and pay for a list of addresses that match criteria, but Idaho is one of very few states were data isn't public.

The closing costs aren't normally much different either.

Normally in that area you don't get cash flow you get appreciation.

When the refinance is to occur you would just get a payoff from them and continue on as your would a normal loan.

It's been well taken care of overall. however, i understand that normal wear and tear is expected to occur.

We help our clients "manage the managers" and have found that beyond just the normal screening questions you would ask mentioned above, find one with a good track record, clear and easy to understand financial accounting software and is CLOSE or specializes in the area of your property. 

Here legally speaking our rental minimum is 1 year and it's normal for people rent houses and apartments for 3/4 years.

Normally the house should be deemed smoke and pest free to some level in the lease or paperwork in signing.
