That is something out of their control.

Since there's rent control, it'll take years to get to market rents.  

I KNOW a lot of you are going to be like “well that’s a very broad category”😆 I get what I’m trying to say is that, my mind is kind lost on how to structure what deductions under which label (very general) but what if it was for an “unusual” purchase.

Last tenants had actually lost the only copy of the key and had to pay for a replacement of the lock from the postal service, but that's a small nightmare to arrange, so I made copies: one for each student, plus one for me, with the original staying in town with my parents. 

It's much easier to save for a downpayment and invest once you have your debt under control and you are now "house-poor".

But if the base is out in the middle of Oklahoma (like Altus, OK or Enid, OK) and (not saying they will b/c both bases have clear missions currently) but IF they did close... there aren't a lot of jobs to replace the jobs lost from the base closure....therefore renters might leave. 

But it also has "investors" who've done two deals, lost money on both but still believe they are ready to write a book on investing and ready to coach others.

HVAC/Humidity control?

Are the lender fees what they promised....for underwriting, processing, appraisal, etc.guaranteed rate is normally pretty good on fees, but there may be charges that are out of their control.  

Rehabbing it is definitely the way to go if possible because you can really control quality, but of course it's not always feasible.
