That's all assuming you can get a successful judgement against him.Honestly if he's a creep and not communicating, that may work in your favor. 

Absolutely no complaints here, and anecdotally we have been able to achieve a rent premium which I was unsure about whether that would work. 

Another update on this project.Rehab completed.Glad I decided to keep this property as in a rising market you will make more money if demand continues, and this is what I am seeing in Bagley.I had my realtor/property manager view this property and she believes we could now achieve $120,000, this is with rent ready rehab ($9000) I spent.

I was thinking that they get paid the most when there is turnover, so has anyone been successful in crafting an agreement that rewards for:Tenant longevityShort vacancyKeeping repair costs down (I do want to address issues though)Dunno...

its really nice to know that there is a place where there is people that are willing to take the time to help you...... achieve  your dreams, thanks again!!

I was successful reducing the tax by a couple thousand dollars on one property a few years ago doing it DIY, but my comps for another were bad and got nothing.https://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/pdf/lpt/ptappeal.pdf

I am looking to connect with like-minded people that have similar goals and aspirations as I do to push and motivate me to achieve my goals.Please feel free to reach out, if you are in the Twin Cities area, I would love to connect and network!

I am also a licensed real estate broker with Nottingham Realty Group and I have had a lot of success helping investors (both local and out-of-state) buy investment properties, repair them, and either lease them to quality tenants (BRRRR) or sell them as a flip (BRSR).

If you don't know what a unit will rent for, you have no idea what you can pay for it and cash flow.I'll leave it at that, but stay focused, be willing to spend some time and be patient, and you should be able to have success here. 

I have had limited success with rent-based Incentives - like 1/2 off first month of rent when you sign the 12 month lease.
