(I know pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered...

I'd like to forward you to Capitol Accounting, the owners name is Gene and he's been servicing over 500 clients for several decades of his life.

Did a walkthrough of the home and it looks sound, but I really need a focus on the mechanicals and structural issues.Thanks,Gene

Some ones that I've added, based on experience:Tenants are not to remove or disable smoke detectors, and are to test them periodically and promptly report issues.Tenants are not to put grease, fat, or fibrous items in the garbage disposal.No objects except toilet paper are to be flushed down the toilet - even items labelled "flushable."

Or do you suppose those Fat Cats driving a Company Mercedes E350 don't take it home to their own garage?

-Neighbors are not so great here either, but less problems than other places we have lived.Option B:Stay, rent the rental I was planning on moving back into back out for another year (or try to get the existing tenant to stay, fat chance since they are already sending reference checks my way for apartments) and the MIL apartment out for $375 more per month total (they were slightly under market rents).

Everyone will be pointing fingers at each other while you will be stiffed with the big fat IRS bill.

Quote from @Gene Livingston: *I cannot over-stress how important high-quality photography is.

I had a situation where a friend an I were trying to pick the lock on a vacant condo we bought at FC.My friend is a former police officer so two middle aged, fat white guys spent 35 mints picking a lock in B- neighborhood in broad daylight and nobody noticed or called the cops.  

For example "Bob" lends "Gene" $75K for 3/2 house for six months @ 8%.
