, homes that were once a painful commute will become a much shorter drive.

I realized that I didn't belong in an environment where people would be standing at the elevator at 5 PM sharp regardless of what they were in the middle of.

Im trying to make renting less of a pain for both renters and property managers.

After the pain free $200k renovation process (sarcasm laid on thick here) which included gutting one of the units, adding a bedroom, bathroom and 305 square feet and upgrading the other unit cosmetically.

I have a tenant that moved into a small residential property of mine and even though we had rehabbed it, apparently we screwed up and didn’t get the proper permits pulled (honest mistake, whoops).Subsequently, the city determined the home shouldn’t have been occupied until we went through the permitting process again and therefore we asked the tenant to leave the premises indefinitely.After they left, we got a letter from an attorney the tenant retained demanding around $30k for pain and suffering, legal fees, moving costs, etc.I took the advice of my attorney and we went to court over it, as they literally wouldn’t settle, and at the time,it seemed like $30k for a house for a $800 a month house was highway robbery at best.This all started in 2017 believe it or not, and we are still no closer to having an actual day in court.

When all is said and done, the tenants that have saved up money freeloading for a year should have to pay the back-owed rent as a lump sum or have the judge stop the pain cycle immediately and give the landlord his unit back. 

I know your pain Dale, but that's why it is so valuable to work with a realtor you like and trust who can go out and take a good first look.

Why do I want to continue this pain and misery?" 

The longer you wait, the more difficult / painful it can become.

This has become a huge pain point for us as we grow and I'd love to discover a solution to it.
