I was willing to work with him as I have worked with others in the pass who lost their jobs and struggled with rent but they were always forth coming, clean, and came to me to work with me to stay.

Is this purchase on the MLS or through a turnkey company? 

Money has to come from somewhere so where will it come from.issue will be if they increase sales tax it will be regressive tax as those who rent and don't own and have low wages will still pay more for everything.

But mostly the loan, the insurance and the property taxes. 

Quote from @Joseph Pappas: Anthony, it seems that you may be talking to the wrong mortgage companies when it comes to your rental properties as some have mentioned.

The only two ways to rectify this are (1) purchase the property far below market price or (2) significantly increase the property net income usually through some method of “repositioning”. 

Stick to the lease agreement and landlord-tenant laws—most headaches come from trying to make exceptions.

However, this is my 1st year in any form of real estate, so I am still learning and feeling my way through.

I found my handyman through my RE Agent. 

funds only go into interpleader after months of sitting in escrow. the court just does not hand the money to the seller either.. if not agreed upon the funds go to the state etc.
