OP, hope your renters did not damage the property…. mine were horrible with $5k in damages…. lawyer friend told me that it is faster and cheaper to write it off (my state and city are renter friendly). i will sell my SFH, it is not for me (don’t have time and cash flow for this non-sense).

Which city??

What state are you in? Many state realtor associations publish move in / move out checklists for realtors to use.

ChatGPT would take 2 seconds to do this for you. You'll need to tailor it to your property, obviously.

Based on the situation, may not yield much fruit, but if you intend to pursue for damages, I'd be sure to get documentation (e.g. photos / video). Hopefully they were just bad interactions and no physically damage

In cases like what? Clearly you have a bias against AI. If it's not for you, no one is trying to convince you. It can make topics 'like this' easier to understand.

One piece of advice going forward: find a solid property management company. Poplar Homes for example operates in many states and while the fee is a bit high, the experience has been headache free with very quality tenants who've never missed a payment.

10% of the rent but i started out with another company that was purchased by poplar and so my fee may not be market rate

If you follow the cryptocurrency market, or even have been just taking an interest lately, with the Bitcoin "halvening," you should check out Pi.

If you haven't heard of Pi, it's a new cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin), developed by a bunch of Stanford PhDs. What makes it really interesting is that you can still mine this coin, using just the processing power of your phone, unlike just about every other coin out there. (Contd)

I’m in Dallas and have been renting for 5 years. I don’t have any savings, but have about 30k in my 401k. Im thinking about leveraging that to buy a condo/or house. Is that a good idea or am I in over my head? I mostly want to, because I’m tired of renting and I’ve read reports that prices will only continue to go up. Although, I will have to pay back the 401k + pay rent, so maybe not a good idea. Advice/resources would be helpful.

I plan to do this every month.
