The insights shared by the Realtors, @Zeke Liston, @Jimmy Lieu, @Nathan Gesner, @Samuel Diouf, @Sam McCormack, @Min Zhang provide a solid foundation for anyone starting out in this industry.From a property management perspective, it's great to see you're considering the long-term rental strategy.

As a 100% disabled veteran, I’m exempt from property taxes on such properties, which makes this strategy even more feasible.

If you have a lease with this tenant that allows them the dogs, you can still say they are in violation of the lease, I'll bet, by something in the lease that says they aren't to bother the neighbors or cause any disturbances, etc.

Yes. the original lender probably will not but a new lender may- there first question is gonna be what is your exit strategy so be prepared to answer that question.

Honestly, upgrading to a commercial-grade stackable setup like Speed Queen or Maytag might be your best bet.

They can offer tailored strategies to help manage your rentals and carpentry business effectively.

I am betting 0. because anger and blame is easy.

I turned to the Diontalk Binder strategy which educates the tenants on the current price of market rents, section 8, etc, and what I could potentially earn if they were to move out ( In this case being 1500 for a 3b 1ba). they then realize this and know paying a $400 increase (36.6% Increase) would be the best option vs moving out, living in cheaper housing, or going to market rent in the area.

That would be called the BRRRR strategy - there is endless info on that strategy here and on the podcasts and in the BP bookstore.
