That being said, I'd like to protest to try to decrease my costs a bit. 

Do you guys think it’s a good idea too decrease the rent for tenant  by about 200-300$ for the inconvenience of not getting what they signed a lease for ?

Using the different things the home inspector found to help decrease the selling price.

However, my opportunities have significantly decreased with rising interest rates.

Also, can having CMHA tenants decrease the value of a property in any way?

One way or another, however, the investors must work to pay down loans, increase rents and decrease expenses wherever possible.

For reasons of personal ethics, I chose to only bid on properties for which the address of the named owner is some location other than the subject property, thus drastically decreasing the likelihood that I would be evicting someone from their home.

So, it would not be a net loss, just a decrease on stock performance compared to leaving them alone.* "Rent" could be tax deductible* I get to secure a good property (condo) early, before prices increase (when rates lower)* Eventually, both properties become positive cashflows, and I get to have two leveraged properties within 1-2 years.Thanks!

Austin has seen some decreases in rents as supply has surged, CA and WA have complicated landlord laws.

That means owing more taxes in the future while decreasing the tax benefits of owning that property until you sell.
