Obviously I have grounds to terminate the lease, but I'm wondering if legally I can just increase his rent to cover the extra wear and tear.

The average rate on a 30-year mortgage slipped slightly to 6.76% from 6.85% last week, according to mortgage buyer Freddie Mac.The number of homes actively for sale grew 27.5% compared to last year, the 16th straight month of growth.Newly-listed homes increased 4.2% year-over-year.The median price of homes for sale in February fell 0.8% to $412,000.Realtor.com also reports a growing number of listings with price reductions, with 16.8% of sellers cutting prices in the month of February.How long before we hit equilibrium? 

Overall, NC listings increased by 9.1% from Jan 24 to Jan 25; however, sales remain flat.

I have contacted Batch Dialer repeatedly and they simply try to sell me the Advanced Phone Reputation which is only available by increasing the price of the service by more than twice the amount.Are people having similar issues on other dialing services such as Mojo?

@Curtis OsaweyStarting with Section 8 housing can be a great strategy, especially since it provides consistent rental income.

To maximize the number of transactions you’re involved in you will need to:Be Top of Mind when they think about moving - which requires consistent reminders.Be seen as an Expert – which requires a consistent message and Evidence of Success storiesGain their Trust – which requires communicating integritySo, start out by listing everyone you know in an Excel spreadsheet.

HELOCs are specifically helpful in this case so long as you are consistent with paying it back in a timely manner for the next transaction.

And while nothing is foolproof the most consistent method of finding good vendors is relying on OTHER real estate investors that have worked with those vendors.
