I have been known to forgive rent when its to cold and the heat bill to high.and I would NEVER raise rent as long as the tenants paid on time and did not call me with a bunch of honey do's :).but if you can lock her into say a 3 year lease at that rate I would do that in heart beat.. she moves out its vacant a month that's 650 lost you will never get back.. you probably have to do some work to it.. etc etc..

But given the fact that anyone can go online and print out an ESA certificate for their untrained pet dog/cat/goldfish/mountain lion, things have definitely gotten out of control   Maybe this unfortunate event will lead to some sort of common sense regulation.http://www.cntraveler.com/story/passenger-attacked...

I think we are at the heart of the matter here.

Rough area with 3 tenants living in the same building, not for the faint of heart.

Also, I feel that more wholesaling "gurus' should place way more emphasis on negotiaitions as this is the heart of whether or not a deal is made.

As you all well know this is not for the faint at heart, and so for success, At this point I am in the process of tying up the property with an option (tie don’t buy).

Screening of cash based tenants usually consists of "a heart beat and first and last months rent."

I've been thinking about getting my CCIM designation to compliment my Broker license but my heart is really only in the investment side of the business and not in the representation side of the business and I feel like the CCIM would be a waste of money with more dues and the extremely high cost of the designation.So, I'm going to read these books first:"Real Estate Finance and Investments"William B Brueggeman"Real Estate Development: Principles and Process"Miles, Mike E."

I am such an artist at heart and not a numbers person so all the forms you have on your blog are an amazing help for people like me!

I guess family has taken over and I just dont have the heart to sell it.
