Will Baker Newish Landlord Questions
20 June 2016 | 8 replies
I'd rather miss out on that $100 and not have to deal with the FBI over an alleged drug ring scandal, nor (which would likely be more common), haggle with the tenant over $5 that exceeded his $200 utility spending limit.You could say "$5 isn't worth arguing over", but understand that once you set expectations, you need to enforce them consistently or people in general will take advantage.It's really up to you though.

It is a little farther from the new office/retail development than property one, but in a slightly quieter neighborhood.The sale price is $230,000 ($115k per side -- apparently duplexes are separately deeded here in Texas so I'll have two mortgages)Anticipated rent $2200 (one side allegedly already rented at $1200/mo, I'm being conservative by assuming $1000/mo for the other side)Taxes $260/moInsurance $167/moRepair reserve $125/moProperty mgmt $240/mo (same as above, I will handle myself)Debt service (P&I) $946/moCash flow: $460/mo (same caveat for vacancy allowance)My initial thought is to go for the duplex because its more cash flow and slightly less risk that you would be without both tenants at once.

19 April 2015 | 22 replies

Steve T. BedBuggs!

hence why its vital to have a record/receipt of any rental property having been treated (ie, sprayed or 'heat' treated) in between each tenant.absent proof of  a preventative treatment before tenant moved in, its up in the air if they are blaming landlord for an allegedly pre-existing condition.i'd give them the option to vacate if they can't take care of the pest problem as its a single family detached.
