@Lilith M HaasI would have your plumber camera the line too and see if there is anything that can cause issues, it only cost me $200 bucks to check my lines to make sure there were no issues, we had serious issues with ours and replaced the lines and added clean outs, had them recheck after a year for piece of mind and was all good, no issues for 2 years now but we have in our lease no lady products or wet wipes down the toilet, and if there was a clog and these items were found that the tenants would be responsible for the bill.

Typically it will require 20 percent unless you are using a government insured rehab product.

My poor Impala was paid off 5 years ago and now torn apart in the garage needing $500 in brake work.

Such a poor-performing property manager will result in more frequent tenant turns, more frequent maintenance, which generates more income for the property manager.Another claimed advantage is that there is already a tenant in place.

It can also lead to poor decisions.

It's called a "test ad" and should have been ran during due diligence to test for the demand of your product in that market.

In truth the real reason is that they are likely to have a lousy rental history with poor credit and in that case our local gas companies require very high deposits for the new customers.I will often ask those who have resided in all electric properties what their average bills are and I will often hear upwards of $250 plus a month.
