Remove your personal things like clothes, jewelry, toiletries, photographs, medications and such. 

As I understand it, since we are not providing any medical care or medication management, we are not subject to the same laws and regulations as an assisted living facility, nor do we have to have certified staff on-site 24/7.

Especially if by deciding to allow agents to bring potential renters in, I were to reduce my days on market...holding all else equal, in the event that I did procure the ultimate renter through an agent, all it took was 14 days of incremental days on market to reach a "breakeven point".

If you insure to less than 80% of the value, the loss is reduced by the relation of the limit to the actual RC. 

At least it greatly reduces the risk of partiers... 

People doing drugs on premises, disagreements between tenants, calls from police in the middle of the night, medical emergencies, etc.

@Miguel HernandezI would speak to your cpa but also want to clarify that real estate let’s you “defer” taxes but not lower themA classic example is depreciation which you can reduce your tax liability each year by depreciating the property but for tax purposes this lowers your tax basis so when you sell you are then paying those deferred taxesIt helps because you can invest those funds etc or do a 1031 exchange and continue to defer the taxes but eventually you will have to pay.

Then reinforce your phone conversations with email to have everything in writing.This is one reason I'm hesistant to go to 100% email screening for tenants, although there is another site that recommends doing this, and I can see how it would reduce my phone bill.

This takes a little more work, but it's the most fair and reduces the likelihood of tenants that squander utilities.If you choose #2 or #3, there are considerations:Start with an average.

I’m in medical sales, I implant pacemakers and defibrillators at the hospital.
