If you are not using a PM and you have turned a blind eye to this problem, as in not filed for eviction when the very first violation occurred, why do you want to evict now.

Then paying for this SMALL problem as long as it is a small problem, could potentially make your tenant happy and pay back ten fold to you in the long run.

On a side note....don't make their problem your problem. As

I'm positive I'll have room for at least one or two more no problem. As

The listing process is not a problem. As

Do you have that problem a lot?

This is a huge indicator they're going to be a problem as they don't know how to save money for rent, much less a down payment.

But this month I got a new completely different problem: a suicidal tenant.The guy was a friend of the previous manager and was moved in without any background checks or any security deposits.

But imagine if you have a plumbing problem a year down the road.

I don't see a problem as long as you instruct the buyer not to ask the seller any direct questions about price and to keep the conversation to a minimum.You could also request that the buyer submit the signed contract and earnest money with a contingency for final inpsection before the earnest money becomes non refundable.
