Strange things happen to vacate houses,,,like drywall cracks, doors jam,,stools crack,,the list is endless.Have a slush fund and expect anything.

The lease, which my FL attorney drew up, states that I must name one tenant to whom the security deposit is returned upon vacating the unit. 3 months into the lease, they broke up, and the named tenant moved out.

You can even put a vacation home in your LLC, but if you do, it should probably be one you lease out on occasion.1.

I should clarify that in those 8 months we had a number of interruptions where my husband couldn't work on the house including funerals, a tenant moved and had a ton of cleaning on a different house but got that one cleaned and re-rented in about 6 wks, vacation, etc.,) plus he could only work on it during evenings after 7pm and weekends.

Just stumbled on to this site and already enjoying the wealth of information, so thought I would introduce myself.I am a licensed agent out of Austin, TX who has lived here my entire life and specialize in apartment leasing, but for the last year been trying to get a business off the ground providing Valet Trash and Recycling services to large apartment communities.Total newb to investing but I hope to soon be able to acquire some cash and invest in Real Estate and have several ideas for businesses I hope to pursue :wink: My main interests are specifically in new construction, vacation rentals, landlording, flips, and property management.For those in Austin If I can be of any help regarding the rental market in Austin or offer advice/feedback I'd be glad to help!.....

Like a new car,a trip to Vegas or a honeymoon vacation with the new wife to piss off the Ex.

I have been a little quiet on the forums lately because things got really busy at work and then I went on vacation.

She is going month to month so can i just give her 30 days written notice to vacate and thats it???

Yeah...I was really thinking of older people wanting to take a vacation or for peculiar tax reasons.

Hi Shawn,We actually own 4 cabins there in Sevierville.Yes, prices have come down substantially.We started with one cabin in 2003 because we loved vacationing there.
