Thank you! She says they are moving now because her parents are filing bankruptcy and hey want to include the house. She says they don't want to look into trying to keep the house. It is to small ( although) they have lived there for 6yrs. Did I mention they have a Pitbull mix!! That's also something that worries me

My newest possible ternate is a family that has lived in the wife's parents house for 6yrs. She says her parents moved to a retirement village so she moved into her childhood home and paid her parents rent to help them have extra income. 1. How do I check her history of paying on time? 2. Her husband has been on his job for 5yrs, he's a general manager of Longhorn Steakhouse but, she has changed jobs 3 times in the last 2 yrs.... 3. Her job is a property manager.... For some reason that intimidates me alittle. I'm new to renting and don't want to be the newbie on my own property! Any red flags here?

" I didn't Inhale" ...... It worked for Bill Clinton!!

Elisabeth, Im happy you took a look. The yard only has about 1/4 acre mowed. The rest is solid oak trees. We have a person that had been caring for the yard for awhile now. I built his cost into my monthly cost. I would continue to have him do the weed eating and gutters etc... I like the idea of presence a couple times among on the property. I don't know why the pictures loaded sideways. When I look they are correct. The houses i compared to are about 15 minutes away, I called about several of them. They were advertised for 1400.00$. Thanks for everyone's advise.

Thanks everyone! I'm listed with Zillow ( and of course Zillow shares). I've checked with several property managers and they say it's priced right. Most in this area is going for 1400.$ I guess I have to be patient...

It's a 4 bedroom 2 full bath. 2 car garage on 5 acres. Newly updated granite counters. New appliances (2yrs old). Rated excellent school district. Washer and dryer stays. Asking 1,250.00 a month. It's a cape cod. It's my home now but moving with my job. I wanted to make it my first rental.

This latest caller says he has a bankruptcy that's almost 1 yr old. He has bought a car and been paying on it for 6 months and I could check with that creditor. But he needs me to reduce 200.00 a month. I'm sure the house is well with in the amount we are asking. Maybe a shorter lease?

My property is listed on several sites "For Lease". But every inquiry I have gotten is asking if I can reduce the rent. Everyone one has a good reason why they can't afford it monthly. Bankruptcy, divorce , lost there job now catching up. My question, do any of you reduce the monthly rent? I haven't had one person want to fill out the application without starting with a"But".

My tenant called saying the refrigerator is freezing her lunch meat. The refrigerator is only 2 yrs old, and it's a nice unit ( GE Profile). We already walked through the easy things like over crowding and air circulation. They want me to replace the 2 yr old refrigerator! REALLY.

I'm not an investor. I'm just a homeowner who has been on the market for 4 months with no sale. It's time to move with my job and don't want to have 2 house payments all winter. So everyone says renting my newly updated home is a huge mistake.... I'm here to learn and try to weigh my options!
