I'm a conservative investor, and I think that may have insulated me from some really tough breaks, but it has also meant that I've lost out on some home runs.

I've been investing for a few years now, Eric, and I've implemented all of the following advertising methods, (I've also hired people to do many of these for me):  direct mail, bandit signs, car magnets, posters, flyers, card drops, t-shirts, door knocking, cold calling, cinema ads, craigslist posts, email alerts, and online ads.  

T-shirt, heavy duty bottle and wine opener and a selfie stick lol.

@David Faulkner By irrelevant, I meant that I've already decided that the risk of a property in a lower income neighborhood is one I'm willing to take for a slightly higher return.

They must have meant the months following the month you closed on the property.  

@Warren T. we work with TransUnion so we have a document regarding the recommendation if this helps:  https://support.erentpayment.com/kb/a136/how-is-th...Keep in mind the recommendation won't be changed to Decline based on just one tradeline, such as the outstanding student loan.  

Hi @Patrick HenshawI can't speak for your local specifically but I'll give just my 2 cents on your specific questions (If any of it sounds rough it isn't meant that way just typing fast and getting it out there, take it with a grain of salt):"I pay energy costs and am wondering if I am within my rights as a renter 1) take a portion of the energy costs out of my rent since a certified AC repair technician said the current AC system is not adequately cooling the house and 2) purchase an auxiliary AC unit (of reasonable cost ~$300, less than 1/4 of my rent) and take that out of the monthly rent?"
