I have a normal average job, and currently have 2 rentals that cash flow well.

If they help me by being inconvenienced with showings and keeping it a little more orderly than normal I would like to do a reward. $150 if we get a tenant that moves in within 3 days of move-out and an extra $50 on top if they refer someone to me that leased within 3 days of move-out.

I'm not a lawyer, so no idea legally, but common sense would tell me that if I turned it over to the tenant a year ago in good working order and they gave it back broken, clearly more than normal wear and tear, they would be responsible for it, not me, and I would deduct it from their deposit.

This has allowed me to pre-rent out my house with higher than normal rent and no loss time.

I normally find myself listening to Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner on The Bigger Pockets podcast, wishing I could take notes and drive at the same time!

Plus, closings are scheduled like "normal" refinances and the underwriting process is the same.

yes, they normally do

Police shut that one down in a raid too. normally they break a big hole in the house and tap into the electrical wire before the meter to steal juice. and the excess moisture destroys the plaster/drywall.my buddy was asked if the tenant can section off an area in the garage for legal pot growing. outside is -20 and he needed temps of 60F+. lol

If normal wear and tear has reached its lifespan, and we can afford the costs, we may look to fulfill their request.

If you buy right, your normal recurring expenses would be covered by cash flow.
