More importantly you will have control as to when you would have to leave by and salvage your credit for the future.If you are considering selling, please feel free to call me at 818-201-4043 or send an email to [email protected].

I also find it interesting that Yard signs is the #1 method of FSBOs getting a home sold.  

Sharing the deals that didn't go so well shows your honesty and how you salvage bad situations.  

I wanted to get the opinion from other landlords on what should be the responsibility of the tenant to pay for, and what the home owner should pay for.Some of the expenses from the management company :- Trash cleanup (beer cans in front yard)- Mowing (who do you typically make responsible for yard maint.?

Thoughts on best approach to weather the winter and salvage something given a lease term which is set though March 2015?

I think Brandon Turner said on one of the Podcasts...Start where you stand, in your own back yard.  

Can be dangerous, steel toed boots, ask me how I know......Don't fill with construction debris as it rots and settles, if you put debris in, spread it around where rock binds the fill with debris in the cracks so the rock won't settle.As to fill, measure the length and width, average the depth, you'll find the cubic yards.

in most context they are interchangeable.I have never seen a yard sign saying FOR LEASE, always FOR RENT.In my lease agreement, it says the tenants are leasing the property for a period of 1 year, for a total payment of $24,000, payable [ ] Lump sum, or [ ] in installments of $2000 a month.  

Just skim them up and throw them in the yard.

Home has a large fenced yard.
