Being part Alaska Native, there was incentive where they would pay your down payment and we utilized that tool!

You might be surprised, but your rental properties have more in common with dividend-paying stocks than you think!

@Dillon Clark-don't pay extra down on your mortgage-don't use a HELOC-save up as much as you can-hope this helps

Quote from @Don Bessette: I have a 30 plus year tenant that can not keep up with maintaining their unit, it is filthy inside and in desperate need of renovation, all systems are in good repair and I respond very quickly when issues are brought to my attention.It is also well below market rent, and they struggle to pay the current rate.Looking for suggestions on how to gently proceed with the notification to move. 

Long Term non-paying Tenants.

Open to suggestions.Little about me I have a relatively higher paying public service job.

This is where it pays to consult with a real estate attorney.

If you are living there you can keep the 4% rate.If you are not living there you can rent it out to pay for the property taxes. 

Or does it have to based off a straight paying tenant?

Plan is I have a dcsr loan and then I have a investor that's going to pay for the remodel and then I will refinance.
