I have a situation that KEEPS arising and wondered if  I could get some feedback.. the apartments we rent have a huge student ratio, we are located next to a major university.. which is great.. we are at full capacity.. but I keep running into the problem of tenants having their parents come stay for 6 months at a time.. ( they travel from India mainly and want to see how the kids are doing and since its half way around the world they stay for long periods of time).. the problem I am having is 2 extra people residing in the apartment for upwards of 6 months.. they are sleeping in the living room.. which breaks the housing law of so many people per sleeping square footage.. they even call and ask to add them to lease so they can get health insurance while they are here.. help... its about 25% of the tenants who i am encountering this with.. and to put this is real life scenario.. the parents are here now.. and dont go back for 6 months so what to do with tenants who have them here already?????

Depends on the area you are looking and distance you want to travel.

The HOA is higher but I think the community amenities are appealing to travelers within the groups I am targeting.

I will be traveling across the US to a better housing market, I have access to the MLS for every state which is cheaper than hiring a realtor and will make my journey better and faster. 

Just wanted to reach out introduce myself and give a brief background.My name is Clinton Roland,born and raised right here in beautiful Gawwja lol but have traveled extensively during my military service.

None of the items you mentioned are emergencies but should be fixed within a day or so.An emergency would be something is on fire, a water leak that can't be contained with a bucket, a gas leak, or an electrical issue causing sparks or smoke that may result in a fire.  

Where there's smoke there's fire.

Call me lazy but between gas prices and travel time I want to be close to my properties.

@Andrew HildebrandThere are quite a few BP Canucks down your way ... we wouldn't dream of making you go into the Big Smoke just to meet some of them ;-)@Dave Vogt is near by in Port Colburne.  

Part of the plan includes an elevator that travels three 3 floors (3rd floor is a spare/entertainment room).
