It was already under contract but I kept on good terms with the listing agent and when they had issues with the buyers I got to come in and take over How did you finance this deal?

But once you move out, there shouldn't be any issues using it for normal long term or midterm leases.  

I am having a mudjacking company jack up some concrete that is sloping towards the property, possibly causing most of the dampness issues.

Surprised to find out that my area qualifies for a USADA loan -- a lot of benefits it almost seems too good to be true. 100 % financing and in Turner's book he said that it was an option -- but unsure if you can rent other rooms in a single family house (didn't get the impression you couldnt in Turner's book) but the USADA site says you cant rent out a rooms under a USADA loan "right away" -- whats the legal rule?  

Like many, money is an issue but I think I can put away 10-20K in the next ~2 years.Recommendations?

In the past I have asked for a higher deposit but I just dont want to deal with any potential non payment issues nor evictions. 

It's only a 60-day lease and in Wisconsin verbal lease agreements are legally binding.

Consult with legal professionals to ensure compliance and protect your interests.Emergency Fund: Maintain a reserve fund for unexpected expenses, vacancies, or periods of economic downturn.Regular Maintenance: Implement proactive maintenance measures to preserve the value of your properties and minimize the risk of costly repairs.Long-Term Perspective: Adopt a long-term investment strategy and avoid making impulsive decisions based on short-term market fluctuations.

I have been working on rental applications where the county issued some fixes last year.

@Ayyoub Reza in Michigan, if a lease is at least 12 months in length, you can charge tenants for maintenance and if not a health & safety issue, require them to fix it.Why would you have a lease end during the Oct-Feb timeframe, when it's the slowest time of the year for real estate sales & rentals?
