I’ve been away for the last 5 weeks in Arizona.  My husband and I have a condo down there that we’ve rented out part-time and used as a get-away for ourselves.  But having a second home hasn’t been all it’s cracked up to be, so we decided to turn it into a full-time rental.  That meant finding a rental agency…figuring … Read More
