I agree with James R if he wants to paint and you're allowing it make it at his expense coming and going.

Kevin L. Here's a question if you renew (which is a bad idea IMO) where or when will you draw the line with this tenant? If you give in here then he knows how to manipulate YOU to get what HE wants. Next it will subletting without asking you, then consigning his loan for a car. What's to stop tenant from painting everything pitch black or worse puke green. I'm not saying be a total jerk but he's kind of asking for some tough love and you have to be firm. Some people don't understand politeness they think it's weakness or lack of intelligence. I don't see why you're even willing to jump through all these hoops for an angry tenant who's paying way below market rent let him walk. If he's willing to threaten moving out and he was just bluffing well to bad in the grown up world you get called out on bluffs especially when you can't back them up. It wold be much easier to give him his non-renewal notice to vacate and get a new tenant in at the market rate. I'm the end it's your choice but I wouldn't bow down to a tenant my $.02

So can you put a property into an LLC and lease between the LLC and the tenant? So that your personal name and assets don't show up anywhere.

Kevin L. I agree with Mark Brogan Tell him thanks, but no thanks. Oh and I hope you have a no painting remodeling clause in your lease and if he's month to month Adios!

Awesome!!!!

Congratz The cash flow must be awesome

Mike Williams Shawn Torsitano I don't think not wanting to rent to someone because of their line of work is illegal if so then drug dealers could go all breaking bad in your rentals and no one would Have any recourse. So stating documented income etc during screening sounds fair not all cash tip businesses are all bad but if the landlord thinks by opinion fact or experience that type c job holders never pay etc then they can make Screening more rigorous as long as they keep the same rules for all their screenings. Now it is legal to discriminate against disabled persons. Question: if the units or homes owned are not handicap equipped does the law then force landlords to absorb the cost of remolding that would be highly specific to disabled persons? Or does their disability pay for that at all?

Hi BP ers Question for those of you who do your own property management: Which software program spreadsheets are you using and why? If you've switched from one app to the please share what did not work for you on previous app? Which app is all encompassing 1-stop shop that would be easily scalable as more properties are added in your opinion? And anything else I forgot I ask that you think new investors should know? Thanks
