From what I heard from land-lords it's fairly effective at it's job and easy to use.All of this to cut my teeth on basic property management and having a close eye on the surrounding areas.

We charge $550-$650 for our 1/1 and 2/1 units, which is $223 below the Fair Market Rent for a 2/1 in Abq. 

I have a question regarding assistance animals under the Fair Housing Act. 

You never know what could happen and it is fairly cheap to get for 6 months to 1 year.

So Im a fairly new investor.

The laws associated would fall on your tenant and yourself so I also agree with ensuring to not expose yourself to fines from the city.

Make your case and make it clear to them what you feel is a fair resolution.Your landlord sounds like a novice that is way too over protective of the property.

Business mind-set to ensure you can handle problems without getting emotionally involved.Those are just a few starters.

I have done many listening sessions on YouTube with a gentleman who owns over 4,000 apartments and I have learned very much from him about apartment housing and believe his preaching that is negative about household rental units is fairly good and believable. .I agree about the unoccupied units in SFH's is much more negative when a vacancy happens versus one unit in an apartment complex. 

Tax liens as you get farther out east are more complicated than West coast tax liens that are fairly easy to understand and cut and dry.my sense of this is you have the right to pay the tax's and add it to your note balance.. just like if they did not pay insurance..I suspect you do have a Alienation clause in your mortgage as its pretty standard verbiage in most.but you have multiple events of default going on here.. so you can start at anytime I would thinklastly I think at least in many east coast states or counties to clear title they need a court action.. and at that time you would also be notified and be able as the lender to cure..
