They have standard addendums for Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) and violence against women...these originate from HUD and will be attached to lease when it is approved.If they are month-to-month Ohio Revised Code is the guide for your actions on lease non-renewal....you can swap the lease, but metro housing will more than likely require a fresh 12-month agreement...the alternative is to add and addendum to the existing lease if there are certain requirements you have that are not covered in the existing lease.

You need to meet the kind of agents who can bring you pocket deals, or investigate leads in the courts.

Perhaps investigate some other markets?  

15-30 days seem more than sufficient, assuming they’re not investigating a change in use. 

Selling would allow us to become more financially stable in our personal finances now, and allow us to start fresh, but our fear is that it would be that much harder to get back in the investment game if we sell our property.

Start fresh. 

I got a fresh bankruptcy but my wife’s credit utilization is perfect because I’m helping hers.

I haven't been able to decide what makes the most sense financially and am looking for a new maybe fresh perspective.

And that's something to keep in mind for all properties; appraisers have two nearly equally important priorities: don't be the subject of a complaint or investigation and arrive at a value that isn't necessarily correct or incorrect but rather, one that is easy to justify to a judge.

But if you have any questions about where to look for to find a good deal and what the red flags are let me know, we acquired our triplex last year so everything is still fresh in our memory and we are still learning each day!
