A stronger American dollar has hurt foreign investment (says most new luxury buyers are Americans, over the Chinese/Russian/Brazilian majority from a couple years ago), developments that used to pre-sell are not doing so as rapidly, and you have a lot coming on line Downtown, LIC, Downtown BK, and in Midtown.

It is one thing If she has expressed interest in learning, but if not, I would steer clear.

3)I completely agree on the pool heater.This was the first item we really tried to push back on.The only reason we tried to push back on it is because in a face to face conversation about the tenant when we were trying to get a company to fix the heater she stated “It’s no big deal if they can’t fix it”.So I figured based on her statement that they could live without it and if that was the case of course I didn’t want to pour a bunch of money into it.Once she expressed (in about 3 separate scathing emails) how important the heater was to them, we had it fixed within 10 days.Even after having it fixed they still tried to get us to buy them a full tank of propane ($300) which we said no to of course.4)I’m not sure I understand your statement here.Everything except the pool heater was in good condition and as stated above we fixed the heater just as soon as we found out how important it was to them.They want to maintain the pool themselves which is a no go to us because we don’t want them messing with the pump and filter on their own.They clearly don’t know what they are doing.It seems to us that this is just another thing they are trying to use to get a reduced rent.Again, I appreciate your input and for making me step back to see it in their perspective.I still think that every time they have said “jump”, we say “how high”, and deliver what they want.I didn’t even mention in my original post that we let them borrow our lawnmower in lieu of charging them for bi-weekly lawn service.I’m kicking myself now about doing that and wondering if I can get the lawnmower back.It wasn’t stated in the lease that we would provide it for them.I also didn’t mention that upon move in we gave them a $50 gift card to a nice restaurant.I’m sure this is fairly standard, but just pointing out that the extremes we have gone to in order to have a good relationship.They asked upon moving in if we had any suggestions on area attractions for them and their kids since they are new to town.I spent 2-3 hours typing up about 3 pages worth of attractions (zoo, hiking trails, golf, museums, restaurants, etc) complete with contact info and directions to give to them.When I look back on it, what have I not done for them except have the home inspected by a professional inspector before move in to identify any problems (to landlords ever do this??).

I personally use American IRA.

Don't wander about the property, that's trespassing.Sales are "as-is" so there are no expressed warranties.Owners have a right of redemption period.
