Be advised: With TA (at least the one I went to) you don't get the card right away--they mail it to you (5-6 weeks) so keep that in mind if your company requires you to use TA.
Also, I was warned, so I'll just pass it on: Be careful about keeping items on your catwalk, unless you want them stolen (I was thinking about getting a bike too)

Traveler51 ,., I know what you mean i have herd many stories about rentals being nightmares ,, but i think the Key is
1 Having a Property Management handle the renters .
2 Be sure and put into the Lease all the right Checks and balances ,
3 The Tenants will keep up the yard care and upkeep of the house .
4 any Appliances that brake down or need repair are not to be replaced or repaired by owner .
5 The rental Company drives by often and dose a walk thru every 3 months .
6 Deposits and last months rent .
7 Credit check .
just to name a few ,,,
Before the rental Company Rents my home they call me with all the info ,, Credit Check, where they work how long have they worked there how much is there Gross Pay , where did they rent from last what dose the last owner say about them , so on and so fourth .
I do not rent to shady or none working people or if they have a bad reference from the last property .
so far i have be lucky and all the renters come and go as they should .
Having Professionals handle the rental i think is well worth the 60.00 a month they charge me .
I cant wait to get out there on the road and get this new Life Popin ! ! ! as my son likes to say LOL .....Last edited: May 15, 2012
