By giving a $200 credit you have unknowingly admitted that in addition to the pest control issue you were at fault and in addition to that you felt that the Tenant was due a settlement- Moving forward you need to address all of these issues in your lease, so that there are now ‘gray’ areas and stick to itOverall I think the Tenant list is unreasonable as the rental is ‘AS IS’ and most of the items could be seen during the showing and seen during move in but then again you have already set a precedent that you felt the Tenant was due compensation for a previous issue.

It seems a gray area.

There are a lot of gray area in this realm.

We were shocked to find out that both the bank holding the loan and all other lenders (based on calls to several different brokers) refused to refinance our loan because we were in forbearance.Funny gray zone there... no, our credit score did not technically take a hit because no late payments had been officially reported to the bureaus, BUT the lenders/underwriters can still see that payments aren't being made.

Grow them gray hairs lol Personal opinion, I said once I hit 10 properties i'm using a property manager. once you scale so big, you can only manage so much yourself.I think we all decide what our number is  

@Ameenah Muhammad-Diggins we just went with the “cloud gray” box cabinets from Lowe’s and we’re very pleased.

@Spencer Gray I understand the anology perfectly....your saying if the opportunity presents itself to swing away and deal with my results.to grow through my experiences good and bad.is that about right

Additionally, since the tenants are often on a fixed income, you may not be able to raise rents and keep them at market.The positives are:Once someone moves in they tend to stay a long time, until...well, until... so, there's very little tenant turnover.They don't beat on the properties like younger people might, so lower repairs.There should continue to be good demand as the baby boomer generation continues to gray and retire.

@Spencer Gray Thank you for the response!

We were told "people that were familiar with, Gray Capital and the raise have said you can't raise the equity."
