She might not follow the rules and if she doesn't it probably isn't worth the aggravation of having her annoy other tenants and then she needs to go.

Kind of pricey, but they seem to like it.And yes it's aggravating to have to alter your well made plans.And if it's really bugging you one day, just remember this video of a Tiger Mom having to feed (3) very cute big baby tigers laying out in the dirt in the African Jungle.You will have a fridge again, and probably pretty fast too.Good Luck!

I think if people have to pay to apply, they are really interested, saving you time and aggravation. 

If so, it might be a consideration.....but as has been said, $20k is not a lot of money, and certainly not worth the aggravation you may encounter......Take the easy one this time, or go find a bigger fixer that is $75k less.

It's the aggravation cost of doing business. 

I've had attorneys draw up documents for a few partnerships and it is 100% impossible to avoid a massive number of arguments that arise between partners.While I see the advantage of having partners who pool their money together to purchase properties the mental aggravation that comes down the road is not usually worth the percent of your ownership and I always prefer to own 100% of what I invest in and have 100% full control of every decision.

From your post on your markets seem like a tenant like Erica will save you aggravation if you can keep her do I have that right?

All project's Achilles heel are the Change Orders....they will eat up your extra $$ and will aggravate the Contractor.

As both a broker and a home buyer I’m experiencing the same thing and it can be very aggravating.

Will that scare them off or aggravate them?
