Thanks Abel, Thats actually the area that I live in. 

It is spring, and the tenants also mentioned the sump pump is also running some which is out of my control and should by considered in some of their living cost being that they are living on an acreage!

We have a few clients in Bridgeport and Brighton Park that are living for Pennies!

I live In New York so I feel the competition would kill since I’m new to this whole thing.

The best drywall job I got was when I had the entire first floor (9 foot walls and the ceiling too) -- living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, the back hallway, and the upstairs bathroom all drywalled AND textured for $2,000.

I live in Northwestern Pennsylvania (PA is a tax deed state, and my local county does not do tax lien certificates, they do property auctions to recollect taxes). 

In fact they do this all the time for tree trimming, etc.I have not raised their rent in the two years they have lived there and they intend to stay for a long time they said.

They also have not been living at the house for a few years.

We have to give a 30 day notice to one or both of them because we have to live in one of the units.

I am living on the SE side which is ultra-competitive currently.
