With a focus on quality properties and favorable terms, I aim to build a strong portfolio and maximize returns in this thriving market.

@Eric Gerakos this may be a silly question, but how do you deny partial payment... the tenant has been paying by Venmo/Cashapp (which may be a problem in itself) or are you just saying in terms of setting expectations with the tenant.

I went with her to the office and she asked for her tenant file ledger so she could see how could it amount to $5,000 and they said no they won’t give it to her ( isn’t that wrongful of them to do so ) and they said she’s being evicted for ultiltes not being paid from 07/01/2023 until todays date - wouldn’t that be wrongful because notice states differently and even when adding up ultites until todays date doesn’t add up to 5,000$ I just need some help with this because is doesn’t make sense or seem right if anyone could please give advice and also the utility isn’t in her name & the lease yes was stated for her pay the utilities but her lease wasn’t renewed and was now a month to month term and that started last year so how can someone rent a apartment to a individual and not give notice to renter to pay certain things but wait a year or half years notice to eviction even though rents been paid on time 

Of course, it ultimately depends on your available funds, short/long-term goals, etc. 

Long term I anticipate construction costs will generally soften as the high-rate environment continues and stifles development.

If the interest charged is less, they charge income taxes on 4.9% as imputed (I believe that's the term)2.

Of course they can get a higher sale price if they are willing to take on someone who cannot get a loan, or are offering better terms than current loan options.

Unless you have photo proof of the condition of the property when you purchased it, they can say it was already there and the judge will give them the benefit of doubt.

In this scenario, you will benefit more by holding off to qualify for a standard primary residence loan and house hacking. 

I lived in Sugar Land (until 2 weeks ago) and kept my old primary residence as a long term rental.
