During the due diligence we have discovered damaged roofs on several properties but on all occasions, either the seller made the repairs before close of escrow or we walked from the property.

There is NO WAY a prospective tenant can sue me for discrimination, which will not happen in my apts as I put in my own tenants.In my apts Here in Brooklyn, I have the world of all kinds of minorities and status, each of them I know very well and will stand up for my Character in Court.The diversity in my buildings are incredible and represents just about everyone.Also, because I provide them with great service and speak with them on occasions, anyone coming to my building who claims discrimination will be proven to be false as I probably already have that protected class in my building.The only commonality is that all the tenants meet a Qualification criteria of Credit, Income and other non-discriminatory criteria.BUT, I know that's not LL.

On own occasion the wife stayed and husband moved out.

I received similar offers from agent bird-dogs on occasion when I was flipping. 

I manage my own rentals, so that saves a lot of money and handle my own evictions on the rare occasion I need to get rid of a tenant. 

We had communicated on multiple occasions that we would continue paying rent through our lease if we needed to.

It will be a rare occasion if I ever do that again.

I do get back there on occasion as I still have family in the area.  

We routinely use our realtor for purchases and sales, and yes on occasion we could probably save a couple bucks without a realtorOn the flip side our realtor is a business partner of sorts, she brings us off market opportunities, She provides input on purchases and sales.Just this last week she was nice enough to meet an appraiser at a property we were getting refinanced. 

With LT you have your typical maintenance of course and finding new tenants on occasion when a lease is up etc...
