Because of my current work situation I am never in any one physical location for more than 4-6 weeks.  

There are a lot of other things to consider besides the time they physically spent at your house doing the work. 

As a minimum, you should use the market {physical} vacancy rate for the local area, though I would a larger allowance to be safe.  

The fact that the tenant exercised their option much quicker than you thought/planned is part of the explanation of your intent. 

@Jeff Macdonald  .... two houses on one lot that are not physically connected are a challenge for conventional financing which i also found out the hard way.    

It seems like it is an exercise in language and at the same time getting the message across.  

This will eliminate my need to physically be there.Thoughts??!

But I don't think so if she hasn't gotten the keys and physically moved in yet.

As a quick follow-up, the company decided to go with Gary Davidson for this particular closing.Jaime/Nathan - Since you guys recommended Gary, I'm happy to send you physical copies of my books. 

Been awhile since I watched it, but it's a great exercise in thinking outside the box, and answers the people who look down on salesmen. https://www.ted.com/talks/rory_sutherland_life_les...All my best to you!
