Property A and B are lake lots next to each other and Property A is now foreclosed on.Property A - 1/2 acre lot, with a tear down home on it.  10 year old septic/drain field for this home is on Property B, which original owner still owns next door.Property B - 1/2 acre lot, 5 year old garage on it.  

You see, this (retired) couple is very poor, owns the house outright and can barely afford the taxes on the property, as it sits.

@Eduardo Beltran I send out my Pink We Buy Houses postcards.

Entire houses for rent are rare and barely affordable for most of the tenant pool in New Britain.

In order to refinance a loan and to the BRRRR strategy the home has to be around $75K in value at bare minimum.

If these aren't section 8 tenants and they are barely making ends meet.

I can barely find a viable condo in PS under $300k that is legally allowed to STR.

@Daniel Selnes If I am reading your post correctly and you are talking 3% per year increase I would thank the PM,  and have them raise the rent regardless. 3% is barely keeping up.

It's been a rough last year financially and although things are looking up and are more stable the past few months our credit scores aren't what they once were and currently are barely average mostly from too high of credit utilization, we are also self-employed (s corp) and look for every write off we can get which makes us look even worse on paper.

Watch inspection and you could call the numbers on furnace and water heater to see who installed them and ask them if there was any recent maintenance on them.. and if so did the owner do the bare minimums.
