We’re wondering if any of you have changed up your approach to the info you put in the letters or specific info you include due to the hot market? 

I don't want schedule a time every month for SDG&E to come check the meter for the neighbor's water bill.

We use Gecko In Touch ...but it's for a Hot Tub. 

Now that my Mom will be moving into the "in-law suite" at my home, I have a dilemma between rehabbing the rowhome and putting it up for rent, or trying to take advantage of the hot market (the Zestimate is higher than the purchase price) and getting it off my hands.  

Water is all shared on the same meter.

I have been reading that hardwood is not great for kitchens (especially in rentals) because water can ruin hardwood floors, especially if spills/pee/etc. are not quickly cleaned up (a very possible scenario depending on the tenant).

I recently found out that Toyota is moving a plant to Greensboro NC so that could be a market to look into as Im sure you have seen that the Raleigh market is sizzling hot right now.Good luck!

Hi Micheal,If it were mine.HUD gives a 15 year service life for cabinet tops.For instance if the age is 10 years, meaning 5 years (33.3%) of the service life leftI would charge for 33.3% of the cost of the replacement (parts and labor) that I had to write a check for.Owner labor is typically not billed, because you don't cut yourself a check for the labor.Make a point of telling new renters not to put hot pots or irons on the new surface (they probably didn't know any better).Here is a service life list for you.  

It's a nice home in a great neighborhood and has a hot tub, community pool, etc. and it looks like it will rent well.

I like the idea of pedestal sink to add feel of more space and prevent water damage.
