When damages are caused by abuse or neglect of the tenant, the cost of repairs becomes your responsibility.

I purchased a run down 14 unit apartment building with heroin addicts, a guy physically abusing his girlfriend, an alcoholic, a certifiably insane person, rents in various states of collection all for the low low price of 500K. 

Now im a bus driver. 2018 was my 1st year filing taxes

I hope someone can confirm or deny that for you.

After speaking with him he tried to deny it, although his front bumper was clearly marked with my paint.

c) Take HELOC on Duplex(i got denied a lot since lots of banks are only giving it to primary residence)d) Sell my Primary residence and use the equity for another mortgage down payment on my new primary and buy one more  rental (i ran the numbers and it will be a little tight but doable)Thank you so much for your input!

@Cameron Riley, you can't deny a tenant because they have kids.

Non-Owner Occupied - so far, I was told that underwriter reqs for this one is at least 20% down (which I should be able to cover but was 'denied' due to the fact that some of the funds are coming from accounts that have less than 60 days of verifiable banking history?

My agent seems quite savvy, and with her walk-through video and commentary, I should be able to at least ask some contractors for bids/know general rehab needs.After being denied the first proposed walk-through, my agent set up another one.

I know my place stays in tip top shape vs my sons, which has really taken a lot of abuse renting out the entire place.
