She told me, "I need to work three jobs to afford to live here, so I never get a chance to enjoy it." 

Also, perhaps if the officer has a chance to see for himself the situation, he may take more of a vested interest in the problem, resulting in some special attention from the Street Crimes Unit (or whatever they call it in ATL).  

WOW, thank you Andrew for your reply, it seems like if I purchase a brand new house, I will have to depend on the home price to increase and the chance is hard to predict.

So, we'll estimate 10% of rents, each, for vacancy and maintenance reserves. 

There is a big chance that there is nobody but never know, right! 

Did they inspect the house, list the repairs and estimates to fix?
