Do you allow pets on your lease?

You know lifestyle is a habit, the condition is not necessarily violating the lease, but also it's not well maintained.

I offered to let her out of her lease. 

What I’ll bring: Process-driven ops, conservative owner comms, clear KPIs (vacancy, turn time, WO cycle, reconciliations).Solid SOPs for leasing/screening/collections/inspections; consistent trust reconciliations; compliant advertising.  

Some investors are pulling back because of higher costs and tighter buyer demand, while others are finding creative ways to keep margins strong.A few things I’ve noticed recently:Material & labor costs are still high, but stabilizing in some areas.Exit strategies are shifting—some investors are turning flips into short-term rentals or lease-to-own.Financing is critical—having reliable funding in place makes or breaks the deal.At RJD Investments, we’re actively working with investors who are rehabbing and flipping, and we’ve seen success by staying flexible with timelines and making sure acquisition + rehab numbers leave room for profit.Curious to hear from you all:How are you adjusting your flipping strategies in this market?

🎉 Big upgrade from checks-under-the-doormat 😂 There are a few good all-in-one platforms that handle online rent payments, leases/docs, and maintenance requests: Avail (super beginner-friendly, good for smaller portfolios)Buildium (more robust, but pricier, usually better if you plan to scale)TenantCloud (solid free tier, covers payments + maintenance tickets)AppFolio (very powerful, but typically better once you’ve got 50+ units)  For a first 4-plex, I’d say Avail or TenantCloud is probably the sweet spot.

Property Condition & Amenities: it’s important to, “Maintain to the Neighborhood.”Key metrics for each Property Class:Class A Properties:Tenant Pool: Majority of FICO scores 680+, no convictions/evictions in last 7 years.Tenant Default: 0-5% probability of eviction or early lease termination.Section 8: Class A rents are too high and won’t be approved.Vacancies: 5-10%, depending on market conditions.Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Class B Properties:Tenant Pool: Majority of FICO scores 620-680, some blemishes, no convictions/evictions in last 5 years.Tenant Default: 5-10% probability of eviction or early lease termination.Vacancies: 10-15%, depending on market conditions.Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 1-3 years for positive cashflow, balanced amounts of relative rent & value appreciation.Section 8: Class B rents are usually too high for the Section 8 program.Class C Properties:Tenant Pool: Majority of FICO scores 560-620, many blemishes, but should have no convictions/evictions in last 3 years.

What I’ll bring: Process-driven operations, conservative owner comms, transparent KPIs (vacancy, turn time, WO cycle, reconciliations).Clean SOPs for leasing/screening/collections/inspections; consistent trust reconciliations; compliant advertising.  

I don't think you would need to worry about sub leasing if you're leasing the residence to tenants especially family. 

The key is ensuring your property meets their furnishing, lease flexibility, and safety standards, since most medical staff and students look for turnkey, move-in-ready housing.
