Let's take a look at my ugly duckling deal and compare it to a flipper who creates the exact same golden goose but kills it for a fast buck.Way back in 2011, the real estate market was licking it's wounds from the Countrywide Mortgage Subprime Hustle.

Eventually they wound up getting evicted and abandoning all of their stuff in the middle of the night.While from a landlord prospective you may not feel the need to interject, I would strongly suggest having a good conversation with your tenant for the sake of the sanity of the neighbor. 

Taken from the CDC "[Rabies] can also be transmitted when the saliva from a rabid animal comes in contact with a person's mouth, eyes, nose, or a fresh wound."

@Gagan Johal, I wound up listing it with the agent on my property  management team, since I work full time & don't have the time to do the listing myself.

I’m definitely nursing some psychological short term rental wounds, but it’s still worth it.You make more money most of the time with Airbnb and you just have to be willing to accept and manage the risks that are associated with it.

There is big money in non-profits ask the CEOs of Unicef, Red Cross, United Way, Wounded Warriors, and Goodwill who all have salaries between 300k and 1.3 million.

I called my realtor friend to get his thoughts, and I'm not sure if he was trying to be funny or not but he said, "that's why I always tell people never rent to family" -- part of me thinks he wanted to rub a little salt on the wound. 

They wound up changing their mind because another friend wanted to room with them so they started looking for a 3BR apartment.Fast forward to yesterday, they tell me the other friend backed out and were again looking for a 2BR - which I happened to have available.

We met twice prior and all was well, then she wound up being 3 hours late to our next meeting.Then I met a mortgage broker who seemed successful.

We wound up getting higher rent than we would have with the tenants that left by an additional 15% or so.Mind you, there were a lot of reasonable people involved in this transaction and the stars aligned for us on this one...
