I have been in real estate since 1985 and I remember an older friend of mine warning me, "Wendy, be careful, real estate goes in cycles"....well, I didn't believe him as it had always gone up for me until 2005-2008 time frame...... do i think it will crash like that? 

Yes, it’s a rental.Thanks for the warning.

Warning: many people learn how to buy real estate, but only some learn how to really manage their investment well.

a) This is 100% on the tenant, I would send her a letter expressing your dissatisfaction and warning her that the fan must be turned on during use.b) Either get rid of the window entirely or tile right up to it.

I know that's a scary word and probably one that family or friends (who probably don't understand what you are doing) have said to you in a warning of caution.

Quote from @Gina Stern: Is this post from 14 years ago?

I've been warned that tenants can go months without paying rent and a situation like that would make it hard for me to keep up with payments.2) New Brunswick.

He warned that changing ownership from yourself to your LLC, many mortgage companies will use that as a reason to call in the mortgage.He advised only putting new purchases into the LLC.

The attorney can also then assist you with creating the following compliant with all federal, state and local laws:1) Rental Application2) Lease & Pet Addendum3) Renewal documents4) Nonpayment Warning Letters5) Eviction Letters & Notices6) Legal Entry Notices7) Security Deposit & Release of Liability Letters8) Vendor Contracts with insurance and other requirements9) MoveIn & MoveOut Procedures to Share with Tenants10) Etc.Hope this helps!

I'd just warn that you may be disappointed with the returns when comparing us to other states.
