So far, so good.I then received a series of frantic emails from both tenants (they are a couple) claiming amongst other things that the painter had moved all of their bedroom furniture, leaving everything for them to put back, and that the painter had interfered with personal items.

Yes, i'll pay for the attorney but i am done with these manipulating, un-grateful tenants.My insurance deductible is $2500 and the damage is not that great to warrant filing a claim...and tenant insurance doesn't pay for structural damage (they don't even have insurance)...

He accussed me of cheating taxes, having bad tenants in there, and running the place down....He has my contact information and was very happy to see all the work i did when i purchased the property.he is mad now1- i protested and thinks i ruined values2- claims the tenants were drug addicts (first i have heard of this)Home was left in perfect shape, tenants paid on time i drove by 3-4 times a year and never saw anything out of the ordinary.Today he further went on to  going over to someone i had sent by  that was possibly interested in buying.  

I am currently a Medical Office Manager and a CEO of CB Jenkins Construction, LLC which is an electrical based construction company. 

However, you claim that a $200k property, your purchase price budget, would rent for $1,500 - 1,800. 

@Bob Bowling  @Josh CaldwellThanks for your input I'm still new to real estate investing and I'd be lying if I claimed to understand 100% of what you and Josh are talking about. 

Any claims? 

You don't want somebody to act uninterested, not get an application and later claim that you discriminated in some illegal way by treating that person differently.Also, when I first speak to potential tenants on the phone, I try to get their email addresses and offer to send them an application and the acceptance criteria.

I do not know if this is an option, but if you go the lawyer route, have your lawyer send the claims company that is calling you a letter or speak to them directly.  

I see landlords sell because they want to travel more in retirement or sell because they need the money for loved ones medical bills.
