@Johan Hultman Your PM needs to fight for that increase as something doesn't sound correct.

Just as landlords like to rent to the ideal tenant, bankers like to lend money to the ideal borrower.I've found it useful to learn the system and use it to my advantage for accomplishing what I want to do (build wealth) rather than fight the system and face an uphill battle.

Right now in particular, I'm currently fighting with the hot water tank & gas furnace, hoping to find someone who could check those out without me having to contact a major company to come out for a service call and then be upsold into purchasing a new unit.

Along my journey to financial freedom i came across real estate as an investment vehicle to supply my life dreams of being able to attend all my kids games and still have a cash flow able to provide my dream life and goals.Trought my adult life my girlfriend and her family have stood by and watched me  change for the better. loving and supporting us while fighting there own battle.

I have walked through the property and fixed visible things with risk, but I would love to know any attorney I should contact in case I need to fight through a lawsuit when there is a fraud.

While initial purchase price will always look higher, comparing a Mac to a Chromebook's an apples to oranges comparison (no pun intended). iPads are closer to Chromebooks and even that's hard to compare since a Chromebook with similar capability to an iPad is a $1k Google device not the the $400 device sold at Best Buy based off 5 year old chipsets. 

Honestly, a savvy tenant would suddenly turn their dog into a therapy animal and you would be stuck with it anyway.You are likely to be money ahead just riding it out rather than fighting and paying attorneys.

Typically the adjoining property owners will fight you especially if its single family residential, but you need to prepare a solid presentation to the Town that your plans are the best use for the property and more specifically monetarily for the Town and its residents.  

We have a portfolio of over 1,000 rentals in a wide range of neighborhoods in Cleveland.Tenants got into a fight over a nominal sum of money.

Given that student loan interest rates in most cases exceed returns from the average rental property in todays market and given that student loans are not dischargeable in bankruptcy and that the govt can garnish tax returns to reclaim and that they very negatively affect your borrowing capability I'd pay those rascals off as fast as I could.
