I have a hobby collecting and restoring radios, especially those from the 1930s, but avoid the expensive "collector" models.

It is a 0% interest loan that will do things like de-leading, windows, roofs, and other items to bring low income families housing up to snuff.Some towns seem to have a 15 year forgiveness clause built in.

Other issues include breaking the shower head, locking herself out twice in one week, leaving personal items in the hallway, leaving personal items outside with the trash and getting upset when they are taken out with the trash, moving a cat in when it is prohibited on the lease (the cat is gone now), and using the oven for heat  (with the windows open).In the past I have refused to renew over late payments and bounced checks and a nasty attitude, and over moving in a girlfriend and refusing to put her on the lease, I feel it is time to move on with this one as well. 

The tax collector won't refund your money.

You can increase the prices by 60% and still come out to less than $100 a month for the capex on those 3 items. 

Speaking with other investors, the primary reason is based on the kind of tenants that would be placed in the rental condos, turnover, noise control - items that a normal live-in owner would make sure they self-control. 

Aside the usual due diligence/screening and placement of tenants, payment of property taxes etc, what are other items I need to point out to him during our meeting?

These will include items like insurance, property taxes, repairs, maintenance, and management.

I have a sweet little neighbor who lives across the street from us, who just lately has been returning our garbage can for us every Wednesday, after the garbage collectors pick it up from the curb.

They are both very responsible and would make great homeowners, it's the down payment in their market that has them stuck.I posted this on Facebook and got lots of feedback on the NOW generation spending too much money on non-asset-backed items and experiences.
