I also have my own (young) kids I need to plan for along with other personal items that need planning.Because of the family business, I've always had a CPA do my taxes.

Just rented a house and the move in date is July 1 2020 but the tenant is asking to see if they can move in some of their items on june 26th 2020, should I let them in earlier to move in their stuff or wait till the move in date.Thank you,  

Also depending on price point $900 isn't the biggest of line items to just get out of the way if you plan on holding for a while.

But the room is the only item leased. 

Once you establish those two items I can share some advice on what areas would work.

Generally speaking, these items break when they are working hardest and they of course are working hardest on the hottest and coldest days.As Patrick mentions above when you have to replace in an emergency you always end up paying more for a variety of reasons.

The nice thing also about all of these items is that they are all plug-ins, so no battery changes needed.

Within two months, my wife and I received vulgar text messages from our former neighbor complaining about the tenants and noise.While fixing some items at the unit, the other neighbors on the block noted how great our tenants were and how appalling our former neighbor's behavior had been.We received word yesterday that our tenants will not be renewing their lease and are seeking to break it early - noting that the neighbor is simply intolerable.

When wondering if a short-term vacation rental is a good investment for you,  first decide if any of these items meet your investment goals:  Is it your dream to own a property in a vacation destination?

I’ll be looking into each item you mentioned.
