It would be a second job of doing stupid stuff for the camera to help amp up the drama when really what I want (TV people must assume we're stupid) is to be informed and delighted by the transformation.You have educated us here on BP, your website and with your book.

I feel like if you cave for stuff in the beginning it will be a constant thing with people I also manage a business and it’s always like this give an inch and they take a mile 

In my case I found an heir and bought cheap-cheap and the administrator was delighted to dump the file.

Anyway, the plan had been to give the 30 day notice (they are month to month) and then do the extensive remodel/repair.Today when making the rounds to give the notice I see in the 20 days since inspection the ceiling has caved in due to active leak in one room, the AC is actively leaking water with what appears to be tampering of the AC unit, mold on another part of the ceiling and a possible additional leak (can't tell if is a leak or their large freezer is defrosting as there is too much stuff blocking access). 

It looks like a white cave right now, not inviting.The yard is blah. 

They started getting lazy, entitled, whiny, and expecting me to cave on stuff.

., those along with other things can make living in a duplex seem unrealistic if your accustom to your 3 stall garage and man cave basement.That being said, if I was smarter and had given more thought to my financial future when I was 25 I would have house hacked several times over.

I can't express enough how delighted she was with the finished product.

After about the fifth letter I caved and called the lender, Low VA Rates. 

The house would be ideal to rent to doctors and interns that work there.The property is on a quiet street with very little traffic (I think a car drives by every 20 minutes) and is great for walking/jogging, strolling kids, etc.You're near Caves Valley Country Club- a prestigious club in the area.You're surrounded by many homes that are 2x, 4x and even 10x the value of ours.There are a few private schools in the immediate areaThe property backs up to a preservation trust, guarantying privacy indefinitely.I will be reaching out to a few real estate agents in the area but first I wanted to start here to see if anyone had any good information that would allow me to conclude on a reasonable monthly rental income amount for my analysis.
