Next, I would send a letter, or go talk to the tenant in person, and let them know that it has come to your attention that they have been smoking "in" the apartment and that per their lease that is not allowed.

(Unless specifically specified by statute or legal agreement, both of which are unlikely).The court doesn't always look at the "letter" of the incident, they look at the intent.

New guy on the block and excited to be here.

They are actually blocked and leveled upon delivery.

The most popular way to speed up your real estate growth is to buy fixer-uppers, rehab them with mostly sweat equity, rent them out for significantly more than 1% of your total purchase price per month, and then refinance the property to extract as much money as possible for your next down payment.It’s doable, but you need to find the worst property on the nicest block, as this will play a significant role in your refinance discussions later.Let me know if you would like to chat more and learn about the Toledo market, which is well-suited for what you are looking to do.Best regards,Phillip DakhnovetsGuardian Property Management419-740-0370

Super glad it worked out for you and @Shawn Faris, I would not look at it as a mistake that you made, it was an experience that has opened you up to learn something new and in the end, she reached out to apologize.I would hold onto that letter/email for your records.We all learn as we go and without some of these horrible experiences we would not learn something new.So as horrible as the experience was, embrace it, learn from it, add an abandonment clause to your future leases and move on.Do not blame yourself for not seeing this coming.

With that being said good luck finding anything that will meet the 1% rule unless you are looking in C- and below areas.Cincinnati is also very block by block / street by street.

That is usually done by having your own CPA, Attorney, or Registered Investment Advisor (someone with a license) write a letter stating that they have reviewed your financial statements and/or income statements and that you are indeed Accredited.

On Friday afternoon and over the weekend I did all my due diligence (visible condition, title letter, city violations, outstanding utilities) and everything is pretty clean.

They sent demand letters.
