I've been in the Clearwater/Safety Harbor area for about 10 years now and first began looking for properties to flip/buy-hold in Dec. of 2014.

Would I have them live in a hotel until its fixed, that could be costly, would I tell them to tough it out and to be patient and that I am working on getting it fixed, that might piss some one off.  

Neil,First...patients.

I have tried being patient and not let it bother me but, honestly - Its intolerable!  

I can respect the "safety net" aspect of it.

The property is in a great area and I am getting a fair deal so I am patiently waiting. 

Assisted Living Facilities and Rehabilitation Facilities and Long Term Care Facilities will allow personal service providers to work with residents/patients.

I don't want to be like other people I see at 60 years old, or older, loading 350lb patients in the back of an ambulance and having no real money for retirement. 

I am looking for my first property sub 90k and thinking I need around 25k to safety start. 16k-18k for down payment and the rest for remodeling and reserves.

I have been looking at investment properties and learning a lot about investing but I am a little confused about who pays for the increases in the safety deposit.In a lease renewal, the rent will usually increase and so will the security deposit.
