But as the property owner, I'd be more concerned with my investment's structural health than the added liability that moving some ruined boxes and furniture could incur.Addendum: the above post assumes the "back-room" is attached to, and part of, the house :)

I documented everything in terms of interaction with her, had a certified plumber who is going to write me up a clean bill of health, and her claim that I am a slum lord because I did not want to turn up the heat in my opinion is a fraud.

. $49,000 financed at your rate and amort of 5%/30 (I'm pretty sure this rate is a little off unless you are putting down at least 20%..but let's run with it)Mortgage: $263/mthTaxes: Estimated at $94/mth (1.25%)Insurance: Estimated at $55/mth (in OH if that's where this deal is of course)Management: 8-10% EGI ~$71/mth (even if Self-Managed should still factor in)Maintenance/Reserve Account (1% Value) ~$75/mthEstimated NOI (Assuming Tenant pays all utilities): ~$418/mth - PP=10.24CAP@$49k or 7.17CAP@$70kEstimated CashFlow: $155/mth (DSCR ~1.59 which is good IF your Loan Assumption is accurate)IF you can get this property, with a clean bill of health, for $49,000 and IF the property valuates at $90,000 and IF you can secure a loan for the $49k at 5% Interest with a 30yr Amortization with only the information you provided and general assumptions, it looks like a potential deal as far as numbers are concerned. 

I am an out of state investor currently looking into the Cleveland market and trying to understand its current health from a multi-family perspective.

@Lyndsey Whiteaker, If your intent is primarily to resell (flip) you'll actually pay ordinary income tax state and federal which will probably include Self employment tax and the Affordable Health Care Act premium depending on your entity structure.  

In continuing my research yesterday, speaking with both the US DoJ and AZ Dept of Health Svcs., I determined that the opposite was true. since our facility will be neither publicly funded nor open to the public, ADA does not apply.

The previous tenants were there 2 years (homeowners in another area, relocated for temporary work requirement) and never had any issues with the property, and never anything with the kitchen.The current tenants have never been homeowners and are younger, so their experience with what a landlord should fix out of preference vs what they are required to fix out of obligation is probably a gray area for them.I am simply trying to verify that this repair request is a preference and not a legal requirement for health/sanitation or safety reasons.
