If your drywall guy can get some sort of lower level cert for minor asbestos and has the equipment then no need for a biohazard 10 clean zone to take care of it.I personally think the asbestos/lead paint issue while extremely important has been somewhat blown out of proportion, some people act as though if a house has it it's akin to having home cancer just spreading everywhere killing people and you have to go around ripping it all out.

Living expenses etc are less variable, and can be economized if they become a problem.So the question becomes what's a reasonable debt service proportion of income?

It just seems so out of proportion to the rest.

In the event that Landlord exercises its right to repair such uninhabitable portion, the rental shall abate in the proportion that the injured parts bears to the whole Premises, and such part so injured shall be restored by Landlord as speedily as practicable, after which the full rent shall recommence and the Texas Lease Agreement continue according to its terms.16.

The numbers there are not real just to show the proportionality. ($1000 as basis for the HO3, then the 2 others are multiples). 

@Josh HuberFor MFs above 5 units, there are numerous studies done that cap rates are not directly proportional to the fed rates.

Be kind to people, and remember that you are their to solve their problem, if one exist.Remember, your success in business is in direct proportion to the amount of service you provide to others.Good Luck.  

Often, the folks that spend the least proportion of resources - time and funds - on acquiring true expertise, invest the most heavily in marketing their "expertise." 

Ned's rule of Gurus is "the quality of the information is inversely proportional to the price."

In the same market, things like property taxes, vacancy rates, insurance rates, etc are all likely to remain proportional.
