Unless this is in a terribly area of NJ, that looks like a HR to me. 

@Gareth Meaker you are in a terrible situation over there, hopefully Australia will offer you a worst case recourse.No one is going to be able to answer your question effectively.

While the work is rewarding, it is not increasing my own portfolio.I’m 58 years old, have terrible credit and besides my consulting business, am not employed.

I don't want to make it a nice house in a terrible neighborhood. 

I had a terrible PM when i first bought my place.

Thanks 1) the city of Chicago has terrible rules against landlords, as an example Doing this from memory, but I think landlords are required to pay interest on an annual basis to their tenants. 

This way you have immediately created separation and should something terrible occur and you be found liable / negligent, your primary residence and bank account are more so protected.If you purchase the property in your name, it’s a personal asset.

We just had a terrible experience with an agent who was super unprofessional and just flat out lied about listing the place, several times.

Given the laws in California, the most likely outcome is to get them out of the unit and charge them for fees associated of replacement.We set the rent just slightly below market given the long term lease agreement, something I terribly regret.

If I have 3 applicants that have similar work history, clean backgrounds, and similar credit score, then is it okay to choose an older single person over a younger couple.I should state that the most recent tenant I did a terrible job of choosing and after just a year we threw the carpets out and filled two dumpsters with house and yard trash.
