You're right, if hardships could help avoid eviction, there would be no rental property business.If you would post a picture of yourself, I could complete that visual of you kicking that mama with a screaming baby to the curb.

We always have our attorney bloody them up to make them mutual responsibilities.The question also is, yes the city turned it on, but how long did it take to get it turned off and notice the leak?

Especially don’t do it right away basically screaming that it was your intent all along.

Not bloody likely.

Quote from @Marianne Lopez-Henthorn: Please let me know if you're still actively buying right now, or why you're not.Unless a screaming deal happens to fall in my lap, no way. 

I was typing on my phone in a busy restaurant trying to help a fellow investor with kids screaming all around me and I typed Section 179 instead of bonus depreciation.Sorry for the typo.  

Our flight was about to land - flaps down, gear down and almost on the runway, when the engines screamed, suddenly at full throttle and the landing gear came up with a loud "clunk".

(the capital raiser, the landlord teamed up with other investors... or someone who syndicates)Being syndicator screams at me ... high marketing costs.... and time spent... on marketing... but having system where I teach other folks how to syndicate... and provide them capital to overcome marketing costs... 

I allow pets..... but if the pet is one I don't allow...certain breeds are not covered on insurance..... or the pet is an issue at the unit....noise, urinating/defecation, chewing etc, then the landlord is placed in a much harder situation to force them to get rid of the pet..... the tenant will scream ESA and now legal issue come into playIt takes away the ability for the landlord to say NO, or this pet has to go.....I allow pets....I screen them similar to a tenant.......

Markets like this scream creativity!
