The next part of this thought process is how are they as tenants if they are great tenants do what you have to do to keep them as long as it doesn’t affect your numbers and you don’t end up below market rents. I have seen situations where landlords and tenants are both very firm on their requested rent price and it was a minimal difference and the landlord let them move out and the money it cost the landlord to clean fix paint and rent the unit out to a new tenant outweighed the difference they would have made the tenant after moving expenses and paying first class and Security again probably outweighed what they would’ve paid had they just stayed so sometimes it’s better to just negotiate and flex a little to renew a tenant than to keep swapping tenants.

These young homebuyers may not qualify for this credit or as an owner occupant depending on how the $ from parents / sale is structured.

I'm in the process of splitting the utilities in my first house but having issues getting electrical Parts but should be coming soon .should I wait for the utilities to be split in my first house before I buy my second property?

@Joseph ODonovanYes, in PA you can simply state your property is not Section 8 approved or that you do not want to go through the process.

As long as you're making a good faith effort toward getting vendors out, getting estimates and keeping the tenant updated they just have to wait on your process. 

More of shared-risk shared-reward structure.

Its best to get in contact with a lender go through the pre approval process to get a more accurate rate based on your specific scenario.

Whether it's financing, finding the right property, understanding the market, overthinking the process, or something else, I am interested to hear your experiences and challenges.

The process has gone on for 1 year and has been for sale for 3 months.

Is it worth the risk if (a) the tenant is non-compliant and an eviction process is needed and/or (b) there could be major repairs needed.
