I have a Sect 8 tenant and have had a few issues (dog, non-pay of electricity, etc) But HUD recently failed my unit twice- once for a ripped window screen and the second time for pee puddling around the stove.

I keep a list of maintenance items for each property, and give them a priority level of 1 through 5 (one is most urgent). 

I think it is a great idea to keep trash smells, dog crap, and trash around the pool from detracting from everyones’ pleasurable living experience.

However, subsequent tenants were evicted and the structure was left uninhabitable due to large dogs and their related debris.

My first month’s rent was approximately $700(I moved in at the middle of the month) the last month was $1300( rent was 1300 only on the contingency of me getting a dog, I never got a dog so each month I paid 1200 but the last months rent was paid for 1300) and my security deposit was $1200.Fast forward to September 2018, the month prior to the last month of my lease I paid my landlord another month’s rent.

I'm a little hesitant on inviting him to live with me while a remodel would take place, due to he having a dog and girlfriend, so a Duplex might be the only option if I agree to this.

That is going to kill investors... ouchAnyway back to topic I guessDon’t you love the US marketsas it relates to US market I remember when I was posting on the property forum over there. and talked to many AU investors ( who frankly bought dog meat US properties and lost a ton of money) not as smart as you !!!  

I need urgent help.
