Sometimes tenants abuse "free" power by running the AC with the windows open and so on.

That said, I know a few MHP operators that make some pretty tremendous money on the trailers, mostly by renting to people who need to pay in cash and have someone not ask a lot of questions - illegal/undocumented immigrants, transients, probably some criminals for sure, sometimes people (mostly women) hiding from domestic abusers, etc.

Also received a lot of verbal abuse about the +++++ing appliances, my ++++y repair service options, and the incompetence of my homebuilder who tenant says had installed the dryer incorrectly (installed by Lowes, because they won't warranty if anyone other than a professional  they contract with does the installation.

Familiarize yourself with the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities, including those recovering from substance abuse.

Bankruptcy saves the lenders from losing even more money during a prolonged foreclosure.

Stephenson,I understand your premise, and although the situation is ripe for abuse I can understand the value of a quick sale.

The longer you take the longer it will take.I'd rather a $1000 loss than to prolong the situation and lose the grand along with several more months of possible rent and aquiring more and more structure damage to the property.

The $1250 amount would require the landlord to pay all utilities - which we don't recommend as tenants will abuse the utilities if they don't have to pay them.

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

This property is close to the down town, near a bus line, and fit the business model.
