The midwest gets very hot during the summer, and this dorm had no air conditioning which made sleeping at night miserable. 

@Nicholas Misch and @John Teachout, I think you’re both right that these are miserable people.

There are some details to framing that will make your life miserable later if not done properly (like proper inside corners or framing doorways that don't match prehung doors).After drywall is done, either buy a sprayer and do it yourself or hire someone (descent sprayer is about $500). 

If all I have are receipts for a couple of bug bombs, their case still has life because LL looks like a cheap miser. 

The property underwritten at 2 units also gives 1.6%, passing the 1% test.It seems like this data is objectively telling me house hacking makes this property miserable, and that it's a grand slam rental property, but I feel like I'm missing something here.

I guess SEC action to 'mini crash' the real estate failed miserably LOL It's just so strange that market is too strong that almost nobody willing to sell. 

The other unit has become a nightmare with the tenant changing the locks, destroying the interior of the apartment, selling drugs and constantly having traffic in and out of the apartment, and making life miserable for everyone in the building.

I'll be briefDon't do anything that makes you miserable... but a high paying W2 right out of college is a killer way to startHope that helpsI am not going to tell you what career to pick since we don't know each other

Though rents are lower, so are house prices, taxes, and other operating expenses.We could probably make more money investing somewhere else, but we would be miserable.

Or is there any way to protect myself from eviction while I attempt to get assistance through this miserable process.
