@Paul Sandhu There's a finite amount of time and energy I have available to research real estate, find deals, negotiate, and secure financing.

Of course, we want to provide clean parking lots and sidewalks for our residents and reduce slip and fall liability, however we also don't want to go broke on salting every year.

We have had good success with giving a small gift at each move in as a way to reduce minor complaints. 

This is another way to possibly reduce the of financed properties you own. 

I currently have a mortgage of $3700 and desperately need to reduce this. 

Additionally, I can conduct a cost segregation study and take a massive bonus depreciation the first year, which will reduce my taxable income.

The way the proposal is written, it will limit the average investor instead and the type of investment (i.e. no alternative investments), reduce diversification, increase risk, and limit hard working savers ability to save for retirement. 

At the end of the day you've taken action to correct the situation and if the tenant thinks it's a health risk then they should move to reduce continued exposure....at least that seems like the common sense move.Disclaimer: Although I stayed at a Holiday Inn, I'm not a lawyer.

Took extra attention when writing my lease agreement and reviewing applications to find renters that behave like homeowners (require them to mow their own lawn to avoid lawn care expenses, all utilities except for sewer/trash are tenant responsibility) which has paid dividends in reducing headaches and keeping time spent on management to a minimum.

Just for a reference we do charge smaller portfolio owners the full 10% because it is quite a bit of work doing all the reporting on just a couple of units and time does not scale well, however as they grow our fee gets reduced.
