How are you validating your renters because he’s a huge red flag! 

In Ohio, water&sewer is staying in the name of the property owner and Tenants just get billed for usage.All other utilities (electric&gas, cable, internet, phone etc) are between Tenant and the provider of the services.

Selling Price: $439,000Offer made: $400,000Down payment: 20% $80,000Taxes: $9,200 per yearHoi: $1,680 per yearSewer: $900 per yearP&I: $2,481 per monthPublic sewer, gas-natural, public water.Unit #1 downstairs (2 bed 1 bath with 1700sqft basement unfinished).

The law is pretty clear about rent increases greater than 10% from the previous tenant, but is loose around the ability to justify or prove the increase’s validity because of increased costs.

Asking price is 430k (high-side and been on the market for over 150 days)Monthly expenses are $360-400 (tenants pay cooking gas and electric)Monthly income is $4000.

Make sure you sign an early release addendum so he cannot come back and state he still has a valid lease if, for instance, he decides to leave rehab in a week but you've already rented the unit out.   

Most people don't think a water line or natural gas line will ever need to be replaced.2. possible cost to remove trees since their roots can cause damage. 

Also stay away from master electric and gas. 

So far I have:-Depreciation =deduct home price (divided by 27.5) from your income, rental for active income-Rental income is taxed less than active income (what is it, like 15%)-Ability to set up corporation to pay less taxes (would this be the 7.5 ssn, or are there others), deduct all expenses related to business activities (gas driving to rentals, CPA/Attorney fees, home office possibly, etc.)

SEC 8 does not listen to "complaints" unless they are valid lease violations or criminal convictions.
