Your only going to cause more aggravations and issues in the future by installing a product over an existing shower, just think theirs a lot of moisture in a bathroom, wheres all that gonna go, right behind the new shower.

Metro areas can have rent and property value appreciation in the future, but you’re not getting those benefits right away and the cash flow will be negative to start.

Are you projecting you’ll be making much more than 25k a year in the near future?

While you might be able to use future rents as proof of income, that is going to require some extensive documentation from the previous owner.Best of luck to you.

As well as, creating passive income for my future.

This is a much better place to be regarding your credit and you future ability to finance properties.

However, there is talk that this area could re-develop in the near future.

I almost pulled the trigger on a 1BR apt in Lincoln Park for $229K but it was just outside of my spending capacity, I would have become house poor and my goal is to buy investment properties in the near future.

If you have decided to avoid a fight to inforce your rights, based on my opinion that the tenant is lying, your best option is to non renew at the end of her lease and in the future only offer M2M leases to applicants.

@John LeavelleHahaha, yeah I was writing in the future tense I suppose.
