    Landlord-Tenant Party

    Renting Real Estate: Worth It?

    REAL ESTATE 
    This is true. But honestly, these expenses would normally be incorporated into your monthly maintenance fee. The upside is you do not have to actually do the maintenance to common areas of the condo unit. The downside is when the condo board either does not do their job right or gets hit with...

    horse before cart?

    REAL ESTATE 
    You may want to consider a 2-4 unit property, with you living in one of the units. IIRC, up to four units still qualifies for a private/residential loan, so you could still benefit from any homeowner tax deductions and should qualify for low owner/occupant mortgage loan rates, and your tenants...

    Regarding Landlord and Tenant laws: A friend needs your help!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Runum is right in that state law and the lease agreement will determine how best to handle the specific issues you listed. I did find a tenants rights guide from the New York Office of the Attorney General here. There is some information on landlord/tenant responsibilities there, but probably...

    I am taking paypal to small claims court

    What Paypal offers is very similar to the type of "protection" you would receive with most credit card company transactions. But agree with Bob, a company like Paypal would want to see you try and resolve the dispute through the auction organizer first, namely Ebay.

    Dead-End Sh*t Jobs ... Yours?

    NOTABLE! 
    Had a few, but the worst was probably being a trimmer in a Dole pineapple cannery during the summer. Standing on the assembly line for an entire shift wearing an apron, rubber gloves, ear protection and a white cap. Machines were so noisy you could not talk to anyone. Eventually the pineapple...

    Art of War-Sun Tzu...

    The History Channel aired a documentary on the main principals of the book recently. They used various actions in the Civil war, WWII and Vietnam to illustrate how the outcome of these actions could be determined by which side applied Sun Tzu's teachings best. Interesting show. Amazon link here.

    What questions do you ask references when screening tenants?

    REAL ESTATE 
    During your review process, do not ask the tenants or their references questions that are covered by federal discrimination statutes: race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, genetic information, or age. Also, be aware that some states also have laws that prohibit...

    How do you charge for long term property rentals?

    REAL ESTATE 
    My rental agreements have specific sections for rental rates and occupancy. So at about the 10 month mark in a 12 month lease I will send a letter and rental agreement amendment to the tenant that updates these two sections of the rental agreement only. If they agree, they sign the amendment...
