Leslee, I can recommend the following folks in the Phoenix area;Inspector:Jim Petko, CPITitle:Lawyers TitleDebbie Fulleror call Debbie RogersGeneral Contractor:Fix-My-HouseI know you didn't ask for the other two, but just in case you don't have a repair person or a title person (two of the most important members of my team), I thought I'd throw them in too.

For example, do you want to do very little work to a rough house and let it sit for a while before it sell it for a mediocre price or do you want to do a complete reno, push the high end of the comps, and sell really quickly.

My Lakewood property was a huge mistake on the acquisition side thanks to my inexperience and a snake-oil-salesman-RE-agent pushing for a commission, but because the property was in such bad shape I was able to still come out with $40k in equity from acquisition. 

IF (big IF) you do get a letter or call from an attorney, let them know the bill is owed by the tenant, and if pushed, you intend to counter sue for excessive damages and report the drug paraphernalia/evidence of use to the local drug enforcement agency.We are talking about a small-claims court issue at best, and personally (I am not an attorney) I would keep all timelines, damages, photos, expenses and communications in a file. 

Following as well, I also just reached out to Marc, thanks all.

They don’t want to deal with the issue either, so keep pushing it back on them.

Even when rental property investing, you need to be thinking on a personal finance level as well- in this case, following the logic of an emergency fund. 

The better relationship you have with them (and that you follow through) the better things will go for you.  

They will entertain a 1/2 seller financing but I am unsure on how this works, I have been following a lot of bp and never really heard how it works when only a portion is seller financed. the other issue is how much the bank will require being that it is technically a business not just real estate property.

I wouldn't require him to cut the lawn with this increase I think he would push back.
