There are a ton of free guides and videos with instructions.

Prior to moving out of the first home, we were approached by family friends who wanted to rent our first home.

I charged them 1 day late rent fee and asked them to make sure any new accounts are verified prior to the 1st in the future.

Because buying a one-off in those areas and then paying property management is going to cut or kill your profits.If you are doing OOS, you should focus on more turnkey or rent-ready over value add because as a new investor, you are going to lose money on the remote rehab.With a prior bankruptcy, an FHA loan, and 50k from someone else or inheritance, I would think a little more solid about how you want to invest.

Currently we have one sent out at the time of bookings with a thank you and parking instructions.

They installed bidets without my permission and created plumbing issues so I had to pay for a plumber to come out several times, I've had to replace a frontdoor knob and deadbolt last month even after we rekeyed the home prior to them moving in, the garbage disposal blades were jammed so had to call a handyman, repaired a broken window which my property manager claims was broken prior to them moving in even though the repair was made 3 months after they moved in.

First just as a simple welcome and introduce myself, coordinate security deposit payment, asking if they'd like to see the property prior.

So is the idea have the total rent be the rent plus prior years usage (one statement that says $755), or give them a statement that says $700 rent + $55 heat hot water?  

Their opinion was that as long as the Heloc closed and 3-day recission expired prior to her closing on the new home, they didnt care.

Prior to that, I was a subdivision title officer at Fidelity for seven years.
