renting property

We have a rental home in Lusby and unfortunately our first renters turned out to be very ignorant people. We thought renting to a family would be a good thing but apparently they had no control over their children and all landscaping plants/bushes/grass are just about destroyed altho judging by the condition the adults left the house in I guess I can see why the kids would be hooligans :smack: Initially I was against the idea of renting to singles but now thinking it might be better and wondering whether to go thru the PAX base. Anyone have any experience/advice to offer? Thanks

OMG. You need to meet the renters across the street from me. It is HELL.

Oh, yes. My buddy, Amy, that threatened us, got picked up in Charles County for two counts of assault and having pot. Her brother, that also showed up that day, got picked up for driving without a license. Go figure.

Sounds like the type to keep your eye on, and stay away from if possible.

The nice thing about renting to military is there's recourse if they destroy your property or don't pay their rent.

If I were you, I'd get references from their last landlord. Just make it part of the interview process.

Long story. She threatened us. If I ever see her again in the neighborhood, I'll call the S.D. She's a whacko.

I recommend having a real estate agent find renters for you. An agent can pull a credit report. It is well worth the commission you will pay to them.

I own a house in the South and rent it out. I've never had a problem with my tenant. He's an older gentleman that lives by himself.

If you rent it out to people from the base you could probably get a little more than you would from a local...and you could pretty much guarantee you're going to get paid on time each month.

thanks to everyone for the welcome and such great input. We are using a rental agent but not impressed. We don't want to sell as we are retired and would like to wait a few years and take back a mortgage for a monthly income. Anyone know how I find the right office at the PAX base to ask them if they need housing ?

Find someone who works there and have them put some fliers up at the barracks.
