Fortunately, I have a natural tendency to do the right thing and in a timely manner so his complaints to have "safety" issues addressed are not too much of an inconvenience for me (although the renter himself is an annoyance). 

Bates-Hendricks and Arsenal Heights are real close to FS so it seems a natural bet that one or both areas will change in a similar way--they might-- but my hunch is it will take several years for market appreciation in those areas. 

@Thomas S. why you say never count on staying in any home forever ( unless of course it is related to natural disasters striking and destroying your home ) ...

That's not a common nor natural leap of thought. 

. $300/monthGrass/snow - quoted by a local company at $274/month (1800 for snow for the year, 1500 for grass for the year) Insurance - $140/month (got a great rate not cheap insurance) The heat source and hot water is natural gas, New furnaces and water heaters installed in 2015. 

I completely understand where you’re saying wear and tear exists, but I think it’s probably unlikely that ANY landlord could expect the place to be in perfect shape when the tenant arrives and leaves, natural wear and tear is going to happen.

A mentor will probably COME NATURALLY at some point if you really focus on networking.

I personally think networking and building these relationships are the absolute best thing you could be doing, but it will take more time to naturally build. 

From what I understand (and maybe it's wrong) it can be argued that due to unsecure nature of email that what you printed out is fake or that it was never "received" even though it was sent.

I guess my natural follow-up is how you know what the market price is.
