People want to know who you are, what you represent, and are seeking to find out if you’re a legitimate and credible business, company and person.When you’re just starting out, it can be quite the hurdle to break through the noise and show and prove yourself as a stand up entity.

Really, the only thing rattling around in my empty head was that next 3/4 ton truck I wanted to buy.

If you feel they are risky and you may have to get rid of them for some other reason (poor housekeeping, noise complaints, or other lease violations) then a month-to-month makes that a little easier.

Personally, I've turned down many rentals just because of the train noise.

They would be vastly disappointed if you DIDN'T rattle a chain or two and drip some blood on the door after midnight!

Silence that noise and make moves based on your goals and resources. 

I'm sure some owners do if they're desperate, but two people means twice the noise, the utilities, etc.

You want someone with a nice headset so that when they are on the phone there is no background noise.5.

"I hear noises."

Wasn't trying to rattle anyone..
