Big ticket deferred maintenance requests will be made, more inquiries about exterior appearance will be brought to your attention, and there will be greater interest in monthly vacancy reports than normal.

I am setting up my systems now and am looking for some input on a monthly report for tracking expenses, rents, vacancies and more.

A lot of MLS don't report all the info.

The owner however reported that since he raised the rent on both units a few months back, one of the tenants has stopped paying rent.

Then decide if this would be the right option for you.Jay Check the seller's credit report.

What I have is i need to file a freedom of information act. don't know if it is worth doing but Will proceed and report back with any news.

I would say you would want it contingent on clean environmental report and have someone do soil testing and if its a well have it tested also.

As a landlord about once a year I like to pay a visit to my tenantts and properties around the end of the year.Basically to talk to the tenant, sort of get some feedback, any issues, anything they like to see added or changed, give them a status report on pending improvement items, and while I am there I give a quick tour of the property and may change a few simple things.I have a running list of things for each property.

Because they know if the landlord reports the problems to section 8 they can lose their voucher so they would rather leave than take that risk.

Penalties include the UPB being forgiven along with 6 figure fines, under TILA alone, you can look them up, they are on the internet I'm sure.There is no law against reporting what one believes to be a violation, I made no determination in this matter.I'm not anti-lender, I am anti-scammer or illegal operator as it makes things unfair for all the lenders who operate legally.
