Especially when you get to the point when you DO have your 10 rentals across the country (I've read your profile- I like your goals). 

Also with the new policy changes with CMHC high ratio mortgages first time home buyers will have a much tougher time buying their first home so the rental pool will increase leaving more people looking to rent.I currently hold two rentals one in which is an owner occupied rental which I purchased for 200k 7 years ago and it is worth around 275k today and this year I purchased a triplex as well for 250k and as is with no improvements this yields me an 8% return a year which I would say is quite low.

I assume (a risk, I know) that the original poster is referring to conditions at a parcel of real estate and the improvements thereon, and the ownership of the subject real estate is held by a land trust, probably an Illinois land trust (which is a specific type of trust, not one limited to real estate in Illinois or which itself is located in Illinois), and the poster assumed that his ownership interest was sheltered, or his liability limited.Are those assumptions accurate?

The tenant threatens to get lawyers, my concern is their safety, but I can’t get any justification to make improvements to the property for security.

Contact the condo association directly to request access to their official records, which should include maintenance logs, financial statements, and details on planned improvements or repairs.To ensure the information you receive is accurate, consider consulting with a real estate attorney or a local real estate professional.

That will greatly improve your property's value if you intend to sell it.

Yes, I agree, with AI improving at the rapid rate it is, tools like these will soon be left behind - but for the moment a fair few hosts have really liked them. 

@Pam Brown we get that you're trying to answer questions and build your profile, but you may want to take a moment to check the age of a queery before you respond.This one is 3 years old!

Any tips on balancing the improvements with your budget?
