You buy the property, you give the tenant notice of a pending increase, they pack up and leave, then you spruce it up and rent it at market rate so it's a profitable investment.When egg prices double, do you think the local grocer cries in his coffee every morning about how inflation is impacting his customers?

This leaves a smaller balance disputed but if you do not pay them anything until its resolved, it could lead to issues if it goes to court.3.

Seems like we could be negligent if we allow self-guided tours and someone leaves a window or the back door unlocked and comes back to occupy or destroy the property later.  

But I think you may be asking, should you do the rezoning, or leave it to the ultimate developer. 

Turn over cost when your tenants leave (check leases), marketing cost to add to the placement and monthly fees from PM, and utilities if those are provided by the landlord.What's your exit strategy?

Tenants will play games:1) Leave a minor home alone - no one should enter!

So if I’m understanding what I’m reading on 1033’s - house has mortgage of $350k and insurance policy is for $750k- leaving proceeds of $400k.  

I have heard that leaving 1/4 " along the perimeter can help expansion issues. 

As mentioned, I would leave it and use that as a storage closet.

@Danny Van Call Marilyn at the City Rental Dept. and she'll send you all the info you need.Be careful though, of leaving the house vacant for more than 6 months.
