I've never had a well-qualified tenant behave like this.

But I'm sure in a few years I'm sure I'll be having the same discussions you are.

Hi -Im in a similar situation only im based out of state (NYC)... as a first time buyer/investor im in the process of reviewing local Real Estate Agents now..However the one thing i seem to be having trouble with is where to find a lender?

People do not behave like computers.My No-flexibility issues are 3#1 Pay me, and pay me on time.#2 Respect, and take care of, MY property.#3 Do not disturb, or infringe on the rights of, the neighbors.The rest of the issues that come up are generally minor, though multiple minor issues can add up to one major one, and then it's time to call it a day for me.Best advice ever is month to month.

The IRR as a mathematical formula only works with the closure of the CF loop, meaning money goes in, behaves as it does for a period of time, and then goes out.

Whining, complaining, bickering, but primarily not following the lease rules.They break a rule, you point it out to them and they behave like they are somehow special and don't have to follow rules.

We meet each animal to ensure it is well behaved and trained.  

How much involvement do you want to be having while based so far away?

You can simply alert her that her proposed guest arrangement violates building policy and that you'll be having her sign a policy agreement shortly. 

I am currently using google voice for direct mail, but everyone seems to be having trouble hearing me.
