Consider too taking someone over their limit from an open authorization for rents that can be paid a few days later.

Inspections are cheap compared to what you stand to lose if you miss something.

that is some leverage you may have over them..most lower income tenants don't care if they're evicted...however, if you report her to the sec 8 authority that you're evicting her for not paying her portion, they may take her voucher away..that could scare her into straightening up and/or getting out of there asap

You have power of attorney and limited power of attorney.They shouldn't need to give you either in this situation.All you need is an "Authorization to Release Information" form signed by them with your contact info on it and then YOU fax it in to the appropriate department.

Quote looks too low.I changed mine AC and furnace for nearly $8,000 and its not even an high-end class.Try call a few contractors to compare the quotesAlso you can check what others are paying for getting new AC/furnace at NC area.http://www.hvac-cost.com/search?

Use $/sq ft based on comparable sales.

That insurance is a monthly figure - North Dakota is very low compared to most states.There is seriously a negative vacancy rate in Mandan right now.

Or like the others said it may be wiser and safer to involve the authorities for this one....Either way let us know how it turns out Joel....Godd luck,Chris

I paid $250 and I felt like the inspector did a great job, however this is my first time so I have no one to compare him to.

I would never buy condos in a place like Utah or in the Midwest because SFR's are so comparably affordable, first time home buyers in those areas still will always buy SFR's.
