I’m 3rd that you may be paid too much from the start.2 bedrooms in C areas all in maximum $44,000 is a nice appraisal.If the tenant stays for at least 3 or more years at $900 a month would be sweet.Most I have seen has been $785 per month for 2 bedrooms in c areas.

Purchased a 3bed/1.5bath SFH and the renters want to stay!

Currently 2/3 of FL is without power from what I last heard, so they are saying it could be days or weeks.Tenants are currently staying with family.  

@Jonathan White If you do find a GC you are comfortable with, might I recommend setting up a number of cameras inside and outside of the house, so you can monitor progress?  

If it were me I'd either plan on moving,, or pay my rent to the court have rent put in escrow until repairs are made then court gives rent to owner,, it's the only legal way to stay in unit if landlord isn't doing repairs,, She must also put in writing to landlord repairs that need to be made..I'd take photos' of the issues.. 

I'd have them talk to their accountant to see if what they really own is not a 2nd home but an investment property that they stay in a bit.  

My suggestion would be to speak directly with a lender that you feel comfortable with and find out what criteria needs to be met to be approved for the loan and take time to get all of your ducks in a row..  

Let's connect soon so you can stay on track with the 45/180 day deadlines! 

Renters are being squeezed as investors swallow up property.. and home owners raise rents in relation to their skyrocketing property values.  2004 also had an overbuild of condos, mostly funded by investors instead of future homeowners...and many of those condos stayed vacant for years..

However, I stayed to my word and told them I would increase it, and if they don't want to pay the increase the rent, I am also giving them the option to leave.
