You'll notice if the paint is chipping and that's no big deal to fix.

I was pulling together 1098s so I can do 2015 taxes (normally I like to procrastinate, but this year I'm trying to refi some things so I'm motivated), and I noticed I got an escrow bill for nearly a thousand bucks.What happened was my insurance on a rental got canceled because the mortgage company had a paperwork screwup and didn't send in the payment in time (even though they had the money in escrow specifically for that).

Specifically, the law provides that a financial institution, and its directors, officers, employees and agents, that make a disclosure of any possible violation of law or regulation, including in connection with the preparation of suspicious activity reports, “shall not be liable to any person under any law or regulation of the United States, any constitution, law, or regulation of any state or political subdivision of any state, or under any contract or other legally enforceable agreement (including any arbitration agreement), for such disclosure or for any failure to provide notice of such disclosure to the person who is the subject of such disclosure or any other person identified in the disclosure”.A covered entity, and any director, officer, employee, or agent of any loan or finance company, that makes a voluntary disclosure of any possible violation of law or regulation to a government agency or makes a disclosure pursuant to FinCEN’s rule or any other authority, including a disclosure made jointly with another institution, is protected from liability for any such disclosure, or for failure to provide notice of such disclosure to any person identified in the disclosure, or both.

I notice that homes don't appreciate much anywhere around Little Rock.  

Either with my real estate agent's career or with my start with investing in real estate, I have noticed one similarity - good things happen when you just go out there and start talking to people instead of trying to research and do all the boring stuff. =)

They have asked to sign an 8 month lease at full rent price and then go month to month with a 30-day notice at which time they will pay an additional $50 month.  2.  

In an up market it will be more than a flat or decreasing market. 

I am sure you have already noticed that this website is full of professionals who are always very helpful! 

one more thing, document everything that you do - especially if you hold a meeting with the owners, have a sign in sheet, a copy of the notice that went out, etc. make sure you have quorum and follow the directions in your CC&Rs. one option would be to hire an attorney to help you sort it out (the association should pay for this eventually) it's definitely going to take some leg work but if you don't do it, no one else is going to do it and then you're stuck owning in this association. 

No more spouse.Also when you tenant gives notice of their intent to move, do you offer anything to entice them to stay?
