Making sure they stay up out your biz is the most important thing.
Try a rental agency. If the owner uses one that means they want nothing to do with taking care of the property in the first place, and the property manager just wants the rent on time...

Make sure they don't send insect guys over a few times a year or someone to change the airfilters. You'll have to ask about this in a roundabout way so they don't think thats what you want.

I just looked for the most deadbeat slumlord of a person to rent from. That meant taking a place that was a real shithole. There were so many things wrong with the place I'm in when I got it. Plumbing needed to be fixed, a lot of wiring had to be redone, nothing was cleaned before I moved in, broken light bulbs in a bunch of sockets etc... Now I'm where I want to be with it. I mail rent in every month and nobody ever bothers me. They're definitely not going to expend any money or time or effort that they don't absolutely have to. I would have to really harass them to get them to do anything, so I know they're not going to do anything on their own.
so true...listen to this guy. only way to go..

yea and how do you explain the electric costs to the owner?
They don't get the bill?
The electricity should be in your name..and none of the business of the landlord.
As for the rental its hit or miss. I agree with the place that isnt taken care of. The owner is less likely to come around and stays pretty happy just getting rent without a pain in the ass tenant. This means taking care of things yourself and improving (or at least keeping maintained) somebody else's property..
Stay away from immaculate rentals where the home is being rented because someone's parents/grand parents died. There is personal attachment there and they wont want to see grams house get wrecked by some tenants.
... Change the locks and make it clear that you expect 24hr notice before anyone enters your home. You live there and they need to respect that...
..then just gather your nuts up and blow it. X Factor busts can unfortunately still happen. Its just one more "thing" you've got to worry about. Owning (or buying under land contract) makes ye' sleep easier.

Make sure power service, electrical box can handle 15 k that's a lot of power should have a 200 amp service box. You don't want to move in and find u only have a 100 amp service then u have to call and up grade and its not cheap and will be out of your pocket you can't call landlord and tell him you need more power that looks spittle fishy
15k in lights at 240v is 62.5 amps and would be fine on a 100 amp service. You would still have amperage for ac and fans, barely.

If he plans on living there with house ac, fridge, microwave washer dryer 100 would be cuttting it pretty close on the amps. I don't know the correct math. But yea everything would have to be ran at 240. Or differently have problem.
If you're running 15k a 200A panel should be installed. Thats a lot of juice and some older homes are just not set up with enough extra circuits. Some older homes only have a 60A service main panel. Also some homes aren't even properly grounded built before the 60's. 15k sounds good @ 240v on paper but is this person not suppose to use any appliances in the house besides grow equip? Washer /dryer/ ac/ heater/ tv / bathrooms running on 20a it all adds up. 200a is the standard for new homes over 1500 sq ft. Any electrician will tell you its always good to plan ahead and be able to add more circuits & upgrade.

To 200 amp panel not to expensive maybe 150 but then u need all the breakers for it and an electrician to install and have to contact electric company to unhook lines and schedule to hook back up
I have had warehouse situations and you want to find out who ya neighbors are too! Pay ya rent and don't play loud azz musak. drive a flashy car there etc. Fire Depts come round once a year so be prepared to have a fire drill, lol, box up plants and shut down for a couple days get a rental truck to hold goods til they're done. Then re assemble. You need a good reason for your "new" elec outlets too. Have all extinguishers in place etc. They were there about three minutes and only told me to get rid of gas cans.
