They will dispatch a service to fix the problem and then one of three things happens: it was either a free courtesty service, or: they will charge your account (and deduct it for next months rent, not from the sec dep, so if they don't pay, the rent is short, which will trigger a late notice that can lead to eviction), or: they will give you a written notice and enforce the rules and regulations you have signed.

For example, if child services or the police had to do a welfare check on the individuals at that property and are getting stung, then the problem starts affecting more people and it gets resolved quicker.Keep us posted with what happens!

I was wondering how much you guys believe it would effect the rental value/appeal if I was to live in the basement and keep the connecting door locked (or even removed if that won't raise zoning problems) and just use a door to the backyard/side of the house to enter/exit daily. 

Both have relatively inexpensive properties, moderate taxes, good rents, and decent city services and economy.

It says the debt service is $97,994 / 12 = $8166.00 per month .

It was just a hobby.Anyways, we put an offer in on an acreage property that we want to raise our family on and will eventually remodel/rebuild the house on that property when the time is right. 

A "portfolio loan" is a loan which is serviced by the lender who issued the funds (i.e. held in their portfolio), rather than being packaged together with other loans and sold on the secondary market.

My question is: is it possible to raise the rent up to market rates if a new tenant is placed, or does the unit need significant upgrades to justify such an increase?

I also live in Virginia (outside of Richmond) but I was born and raised in Virginia Beach and went to college in Norfolk.

I don't like the national services.
