@Damian Lopez The only thing that will prevent you from being able to move a property is the price.

I hope that won’t prevent me from securing a loan for a property I want.

It may not work if you get called in front of a judge but if everything is documented properly it should prevent the tenant from filing in the first place.If I'm going to miss the deadline because work still isn't done, I'll charge the tenant based on contractor estimates or make up my own.

If the tenant needs to leave for assisted living or worse I can look to rent it out, but this option at least prevents me from having to pay the full mortgage for 3-4 months.

After running numbers on both of these, I believe my strategy would have worked well had I tried to implement it for these deals.

Real review for a firm in Illinois, slightly altered to prevent googling and throwing shade on them:Great folks at _____ Management.

The result was 24 months of back & forth to cover the plumbing/electrical & various fire prevention codes. 

Primarily looking to get as much protection and layers as possible on the front end to prevent costly issues down the road.

I've implemented changes to our financial reporting from what I've seen other's doing. 

@Isabella G.Instead of trying to be a charity yourself, perhaps go down to the city council and befriend someone there and discuss having them see what kind of things other cities are doing to solve this problem and then implementing it in your city.Unless you're rich, in which case you can spend enough of your own money to solve the problem.Good Luck!
