Introduce yourself and get a feel for the quality of other residents and their impression of the building.

So just purchased my first rental property last week and during closing the seller of the property got stuck paying a lean on the property for $4000 dollars due to several different old tenants not paying their electric bill.

Currently, the overall median rent in the city stands at $1,083, after falling 0.6% last month.

I waited a few months more then last month I applied for a Heloc expecting to get 20 to 30K and have to jump through hoops.
