That's not as big an issue the longer you plan to live in the property, but just know it could be hard to cash flow the property the first several years after you move out.

I disagree with everyone who has answered in this thread so far.Every state Im aware of requires a landlord to maintain smoke detectors.A quick glance at Wisconsin law shows the landlord is required to place a smoke detector in the unit, and fix any issue with it withij 5 days of being notified it is not working.

You may have all the keys you issued but the tenant may have made copies.

I think that's how renters avoid eviction since they just make a little payment to reset the notice expiration date.I know I am getting full payment from the renters at the end of the month despite the consistent late payments, but consistent late payments don't look good on the ledger when selling the property with the renters.What actions could I take, if any at all, to address the issue?

I would love to meet fellow Vermonters to discuss issues I am having on taxes and future growth areas etc.If anyone wants to reach out and say hello please contact me!

Is it an asking price issue ?

The biggest issue with Section 8 tenants, in my opinion, is that because they don't have much skin in the game since they are not paying most of their rent, the incentive isn't there to take care of the apartment the way someone else might.
