First factor is that I had a really big ticket item come up out of the blue and wanted to pump the brakes after that happened (had to get creative to absorb the cost). 

@Matthew Murray - It sounds like you may want to pump the brakes on this deal until the investment is more clear for you. 

Make the people driving down your neighborhood that are on  the way to see another rental, put on their brakes to stop and see yours!   

Current influence levels would transfer over with the previous 5 rules applied to them, thus "leveling" out the system and the previous scammers for influlence points would thus be corrected somewhat.I do not see a need for negative votes on posts (will likely only cause problems for Josh and BP Nation, but do agree that when posters brake forum rules, they get docked points (as is the current standard) and as users do not actively use the site, their points start dropping off (at whatever rate you figure it to be).I guess you also have the option to continue to display the "old influence" points on a users profile if you so choose to.

I know this happens in Wall Street...the "sell sell sell" panic selling..but real estate is not as fluid which can be seen as a positive or a negative.

The transfer tax certification form may be useful and brake it down for you. 

To get true cash flow in this rent range, you will need a bare minimum of 1.25% which puts you all-in at $400k based on $5k monthly rents.Now, if your play is to brake even or even be negative, but this has super appreciation potential, then that may be OK, depends on your tolerance for guess work (appreciation) and potential negative cash flow.

I have a VA cold calling during the week as I have a 9-5 job to support my family and I’m not here to brake any laws or take advantage any client I come across.

refer to your lease if it has a lease brake clause send them a snap shot of it. you've done everything required of you as a landlord. at this point theyre just being bitchy and want you to compensate them and want an excuse to move. additionally read the local landlord tenant act.. it doenst say how hot or cold a unit has to be just that it has to be reasonable. 

If you are really curious I could outline my 5 year goal, but they are so fluid that it's hard to predict.
