In some jurisdictions, when a lease expires, your tenant becomes M2M by default - CA is a tenant friendly state.As a matter of fact, if you ask a tenant to leave without an unlawful detainer - assuming one is legally warranted - they are entitled to a relocation fee.https://hcidla.lacity.org/syst...To your success!

Am I overreacting or are my fears warranted?

Plus I don't think any area of Phoenix is that bad that you'd need bulletproof glass, unless you are doing something that would warrant bullets being fired at your house lol.

Nobody knows if this is a one time thing or not, or whether she's been living there for 5 years with all on time payments, whether she has just moved in 2 months ago, whether she's been late 4 or 5 times over the last year... as I said, I'd need to know some history, I take each matter one at a time and based on past history of the tenant, universal 'slack' is not granted, slack is granted when it's warranted as this request being the exception.

Hey @Samantha Klein, haven't had this become a large enough issue to warrant the cost as a part of turnover.

Not all the foundations are rough, but the older homes warrant paying extra attention to. 

I remember saying "wait a minute, are you sure you are reading the special warrant deeds right and you know the difference between 'grantor' and 'grantee'?'"

Like, if you get a warranty on a car, they are warranting that the parts work.

Army Warrant Officer told me about it since I had an interest in rental property.

2.) you need to understand what the property is currently worth on the open market, and how much it may be worth if you did the rehab.3.) once you have an estimate of these numbers, connect with lenders who can offer a HELOC (home equity line of credit).4.) this part gets tricky because it has to make sense at this point... but... if the amount you can get on a HELOC allows you to do enough repairs/renovation to warrant a high-enough ARV (after-repair value) it may make sense to take the HELOC to pay for the repairs and then get the property appraised after.
