@Anita OrtizHi Anita, My wife and I are looking to attract small balance debt and equity, to participate in our scaling of Adult Residential Facilities-DD (developmentally disabled adults ages 22-59) ARF-DD.

This is nothing to write home about, but if you have to do the repairs anyway... you might as well get a little rent boost for them.If you or a family member wants to move in, you can usually kick one of the tenants out to owner occupy - but not if they have been there over 10 years and are disabled or senior--- if they have all been there for 35 years, they might all be senior citizens or disabled and you can't get them out this way.

It is not the tenant's issue to provide routine maintenance no matter what was signed.John Corey

I REALLY don't like the idea of tenants using the fireplace.I'd like to disable the fireplace, but not sure how to do it without ruining the aesthetics.

nope  ... but if they don't .. just call them and ask for what they want.. make sure your dealing with a reputable lender though don't want to get sucked into the " send me a deposit before I fund routine" 99% of those are frauds and will steal you money.. too good to be true these days in private/hml is dominated by these frauds..

No evictions, No felonies, No pets, He makes 4.5x rent.Career Disabled Veteran has a nasty divorce which leads to Chapter 13.Tenant re-marries 5 years later and spouse has bad credit and is not working.Prospective tenant gets veteran retirement and disability of which 1/2 is garnished for ex-spouse.Prospective tenant has now taken a job teaching ROTC at the local high school.

The other benefit is it helps me build up my list of auction websites to check routinely. 

I have to regularly check my goals and end game to make sure I am laser focused with my daily routines and tasks to make sure they are moving in the right direction.

Routine issues such as a clogged drain, the plumber should report what he pulled back, if anything, and how far out was the blockage.

Both are disabled with issues that affect their temper and processing of things.
