The tenant must be obligated to not cause a health/safety issue and obey the local sanitary laws. 

Hi ,I am new to bigger pockets. I have recently acquired enough capital to start investing in real estate. I have multi unit near the beach in the panhandle that I am about to close on. The house is going to cost $265...

I agree that all safety issues should be repaired including lead. 

HELOC might be your better option if you only need access to the funds for a short time, but those are always ARM, and are often really difficult to get on investment properties.

A window that will not stay up is actually a safety issue as a person maybe injured if an open window falls unexpectedly.

Generally speaking, you see a pitbull and the owner stereotype that follows is some lowlife that won't pay rent.If a tenant sits down in front of me, has a 760 credit score, a full time job, no marks against him/her, and happens to have a pit, I don't see what people get up in arms about.

To replace that would probably cost an arm and a leg. 

I am with you on the propane,  it isn't the same as having natural gas and for safety I would choose oil heat over propane any day.  

The deal was 20% down with a 5.1 ARM at 5.25%.
