Too much trouble and worry.I have a red nose, I get it.

Softee  But my style has always been if they keep it in great shape I never make them move and I NEVER raise the rent.because in my mind a turn over cost you years in lost rent.. that you most of the time never make up.but in this case I would say you need to talk about getting close to market if not market rent.. if your not in a capital position that bigger players are that can afford to be a little more lenient. at least when you only have a few rentals and are personally involved.when I had my larger portfolio 350 homes and a good swath of them HUD.. we were pretty much just like @Thomas S. hard nosed.. although some folks will evict if the tenant does not pay their 25 dollar co pay.. me I always thought that was asinine you now have a vacancy over 25 bucks and usually at some point through the year ( normally at tax rebate time) they would bring in the amount you needed..you have to deal with your tenant class.. and market.. they are not all the same. 

And worst part was, I couldn't get that smell out of my nose for about a week.

If tenants here were treated as some landlords here let on, as to how tuff and hard nosed they are, they would have a pile of ashes to rent!

I have been interested in the rental business since paying through the nose in college for a house with my roommates.I found BP as I was starting to seriously research taking the plunge and purchase my first property.

Long time no see or talk.The Hollywood part is definately credited to my partner, I am just along for that ride.

i like it is bigger and less eye strain i noticed the key tags were gone so i had to look around till found this thread and it was strange i didnt have to log in either i liked the old too but change is inevitable and is mostly good for us thanks for constantly improving an already great and rewarding site not brown nosing cause it never gets you anywhere any way just saying what is on mind thanks to all involved

It would be real easy to be hard nosed, but he is also working on another project with a much higher profit margin.

The realtor is always happy to answer any of my questions, and the developer who has purchased well over 100K in books and education, has said I can at any time go down to their office and put my nose in a book.For that the occasional beer or lunch is well worth the price of education.

I put my nose to the grindstone and found my way here in Denver.
