My concern is that this could spiral into a bigger issue.

The good thing about investing in Tampa - you will most likely never have an issue finding a qualified tenant.

Purchase price: $177,000 Cash invested: $50,000 - Single-family home in a Residential area near the University of Rochester- Purchased flipped home without inspection, many costly hidden issues revealed after closing - Currently rented for $2,200.

Now taxes are cheap in SC compared to most places, so it's not a big issue that I run into.

Also get as many neighbors as possible to call.I've been through a similar situation and found that you must get the City's attention by appealing to what they find what be a liability issue, something that would end up on the news and make them look bad.

This is how you can keep the same system, same home layout, and just make a minor change to how the extra bedroom is filed with the cityAlthough not a pleasant surprise like you mentioned, luckily this is a very minor issue in reality and everything they're telling you is accurate.

You will lose money to inherent issues that plague lower income populations.

This is from HUD 10-121 issued June 11, 2010A familys source of income should never be used as a basis to discriminate against them, said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan.

For what it's worth, we used to manage an apartment next to San Leandro BART and had similar problems.We're happy to manage properties near BART stations, but I want property owners to be aware of the issues.

If you don't mind, I'm also relatively new to the investing side of real estate, and I've been thinking about acquiring my first rental property.
