Im sure going after the city would really only be effective in a civil class action law suit where there is enough people and $$$ on board.Over a 6-12k fix, and battling the city alone you'll spend more money and time IMO. 

I have family in Battle Creek.

In cold markets, guests like to come home to a nice hot dinner (not to mention the good smells that fill the house as a result 😊)Try to put yourself in a guest's shoes and ask yourself what you'd want to have accessible to you when traveling to a mountain market - the little things will be most appreciated by guests!

That's why it's better to establish a relationship with an eviction attorney now, especially if you anticipate a possible battle with one of the tenants down the line.It's certainly good that you're asking these questions now.

Currently, I don't have any second mortgages or helocs because the idea of keeping track of more than one mortgage per property has been a tad daunting and decreasing my cash flow at the moment is something I'm battling mentally with.

Rate will definitely be higher and you may fighting an up hill battle when it comes to DSCR.

I’m now battling a civil lawsuit (that I wasn’t informed about) thanks to Home 365 dropping the ball on a tenant issue and they’re not helping.

I found all sorts of things to reference for an eviction including excessive damage to the property, signs of an animal, lack of yard maintenance, oil spill on driveway, smoke detectors removed, the unit smelled of smoke, appliances that came with the unit moved off site ect... 

If when they move out there is cat piss or vape smell, deal with it then.
