Good point and understand it's the future-worth that counts.A little more background, this landlord isn't exactly the lavish developer type.

That's nice to know!

Her apartment is also nice and in one of the best spots in the city.So, what's the best way to get rid of her? 

@Jacob Nunn It is nice to see your obvious excitement about real estate. 

The $840 mortgage and expenses are covered nicely by $750 in rent (housemate on my primary residence) and $1550 in gross rent on the duplex. 

@Chris MarshallAre you part of a planned development or part of a homeowner's association?

Also am interested in uniforming community development of areas that with mixed style, price, and age of the housing. 

@Jairo Paredes   nice meeting you too.  

I am looking to rent a place, it seems nice except three thingsthey are ranch style apartments. they have a gate in front of the main entrance, and you're responsible for the door if anything happens to it. for some reason they won't fix it. it actually looks like this but a wooden door in front of the main doorif i take the door down, how concerned should I be about people stealing stuff. if i had a lawn mower or something, they would have to come in the opening and take stuffi saw a report online about some guy that was looking in someones windows at the complex across the street. i dont know how long ago it was. i was looking online again but coudlnt find it. the one im staying at seems fine, how concerned should I be able the ones across from me?

I am still considering the deal, because the cash-flow on the back end would be nice and I can refi and pull much of the money for the rehab overall back out of it.
