You generally have to give notice and an opportunity for the former owner to claim their property before disposing of it. 

Quote from @Jeremy Horton: It depends - how much do you have at your disposal to generate 2k?

You guys install garbage disposals?? 

@Michael Santeusaniomy learning lesson is have way more money at your disposal then you think you need. 

I’ve spoken with clients who are surprised when they realize how much of their disposable income and even potential down payment savings have been redirected to gambling.I believe it’s about reframing what “winning” looks like.

A new microwave and garbage disposal for the same property.  

Lastly, this rate reduction would increase guests disposable income as credit card interest rates would reduce also. 

House hacking is one of the best investing strategies investors have at their disposal.

Almost no applications.The applicants who do apply are slow, hesitant, and shopping 10 other options.Backouts are way higher, people flake because there are 100 other units they can jump to.Inventory is stacked in most submarkets.Even with concessions like ½ month free or 1 month free, lease-ups are still crawling.And yet… I still see landlords acting like every applicant is disposable and they can move at the speed of a DMV.It’s crazy to me.In our company, we’ve had to shift our entire approach.We’re treating leasing like a sales funnel, because that’s what it is right now:Inquiry → Showing → Application → Approval → Deposit → Move-inMaximize leadsFollow up oftenMove people to the next stepReduce friction everywhere we canTreat applicants like actual customers, not a nuisanceBecause whether people like it or not, tenants suddenly have the power.More options.

With that I plopped a couple of "disposable" tiny houses for STR.On one I've bought for income - inside the city of Knoxville (a fantastic college town) - I am precluded from doing STR - so it's ideal for me to do LTR.
