Hi, we have a lease that allows dogs as long as they are on a leash at all times when the dog is outside and on the property. 

I loved lasts years event, it was such a good time.

You get your money without the tax hit at the moment and hopefully continue to profit off them,   If the objective is long term passive income, it doesn’t make sense to sell them… it moves you away from your goal post.  

Hi Tim,There are several effective strategies and resources you can use to stay informed about future development planning in your area, without solely relying on attending city council meetings:City Planning Websites: Most cities have planning department websites where they publish upcoming development projects, zoning changes, and long-term planning documents.

Again because of the same reason.The real problem is that more (social/medium priced) housing is needed which the local government hasn't been investing in for the last 1/2 governing period.

Thats going to determine some of the decision making I'd think - you could always partially pay down the loan to achieve cash flow or breakeven or even a little relief - could be the best move if you think the property is well located and an otherwise good long term investment

How long has each tenant been in place for?

Think long term! 

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

Check your state to see how long the PM has to notify the tenant of damages (some it is 30 days and you don't want to leave it that late).For damage to floors (or other things that have a limited life span), it is based on depreciated costs for replacement.
