Welcome to BP, sounds like you have a good gameplan!

Quote from @Don Bessette: I have a 30 plus year tenant that can not keep up with maintaining their unit, it is filthy inside and in desperate need of renovation, all systems are in good repair and I respond very quickly when issues are brought to my attention.It is also well below market rent, and they struggle to pay the current rate.Looking for suggestions on how to gently proceed with the notification to move. 

Its just hard to be good when they're chasing margin and keeping OH costs and personnel costs low.

Good luck. 

I just wasn't sure if it is my responsibility to do something if the electric bill is high and are not satisfied. do I have to be concerned about that?

Good credit.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

It's relatively inexpensive and a good resource for education, forms, legal advice, and more.

Would it be a good idea to take a deposit to secure the deal until the rule clears?
