When the lender brought up the issue, he just said that he needed more backyard space for his kid and it was a non-event.

Basically, an okay deal now is better than a great deal in another few years.I live with my family overseas in a relatively unstable part of the world.

Little kids or bad adults are more likely to cause problems.

We have a Wii in the kids bunk room and it gets used all the time.

You basically don't know until you get the bill.

I have the rental posted on basically every platform including facebook groups. 

I am a firm believer that you have to live there and offset your prop tax's with zero income tax and of course be a local and self manage. then to me its like any other market in the country basically..

I try to teach my kids the importance of investing and show them real life scenarios any chance I can.

Have you tried to understand the basics of rental investing?

But, if the units and amenities are basically the same, then when the rent agreement comes due, propose the same rent structure.As landlords, we need to continue to keep rents in alignment with the market.
