Be aware that tennats will often refuse to pay their last months rent when leaving so be prepared to begin th eeviction notification immediately to allow you to collect and insure they are out as agreed.

A tenant says "xyz" (sewer gas, mold, peeling paint, etc.) is making the property uninhabitable and a health or safety issue, so they are not paying rent, or pay whatever they feel like.Question we always ask in court:  "If you feel the property is uninhabitable, why are you still occupying it?"  

However, I also look at expenses per unit (as a secondary examination), to see if there is anything out of order (e.g. market insurance is $200-$300 per door, and even if the overall expenses are 50% of Gross Income, but insurance is $420, than I look into it.

For example, let’s say there’s a condo that is 140k with a $1000 mortgage (including HOA, expenses, taxes, insurance, etc.).

After all expenses(Tax, Insurance, Bank note) I’m looking at $484 being the break even.Looking to loan out $54,000 to cover buying the house, paying for the update and getting a little cash in my pocket to put towards another rent house on the same street.

Once the loan is paid off it's 8600 minus taxes, insurance, maintenance, and reserves and the rest is the profit.

Should I go by replacement cost or by market value to determine the home insurance coverage for a rental property?
