Let me know if you free up Friday.

So you are being offered a 100% risk free offer to make 71% of what investing in the stock market would make you long term just by leaving your money in the bank.  

Some states offer free test kits, maybe check that, and if this is the state where your unit is, sounds like you may have to do it anyway for next tenant.

@Trevor Crabtree- thanks ....before seraching to hard- if you need to use  financing - get fully pre approved with a lender ..its  free and  easy  and this will educate you /  organize you and  prepare you . 

This includes working with a knowledgeable agent familiar with your investment area, finding trustworthy local contractors for your projects, securing responsive insurance agents, partnering with investor-friendly title companies, and connecting with lenders offering suitable financing for your strategy.With your goals set and team in place, you should feel more confident in your approach.

In addition, Houfy is a direct booking website that mimics the look and feel of Airbnb in terms of user experience.

An honest and ethical contractor will give you advice for free in hopes that they will build a relationship and get work.

We do feel like we are throwing money away helping her with rent when we could be putting it towards an investment property instead, but there is always the fear of pulling the trigger on the first home that isn't your primary. 

Take your lender out to lunch, get a feel for them on a personal level.   

This is probably resulting bias, but I feel that this general rule of thumb has served me pretty well.How is this related to rental properties and tenant screening?
