You definitely don't want a situation where someone gets hurt by traps or poison that you place.If it is more related to the tenants being pigs than a hole on the outside then it may require some education on how to keep things clean and charging them for pest control if local law allows it etc.

Hi there, relatively new to the community and first time poster... love all the info on residential real estate.

That's one way to have one less guest at Thanksgiving dinner--don't discuss fees/payment with your relative for their time/effort on your behalf. 

If you have information relating to this company please feel free to share your insights.

Problem is, if you are High-D&I, you'll relate to and enjoy chatting with other D&I's like yourself during the interview process.

@Jeremy VanDelinder keep me posted for any future related work.

Around here, the properties are high priced in relation to rents and with students, you never know how much damage they might do in 9 months.

As I mentioned in my original post, I'm trying to understand the 50% rule as it relates to properties in Montgomery County, PA. 

Jerome Ave rezoning was just approved a month ago or so and word has it the Kingsbridge Armory renovation is about to be approved as well. 2 familys are great bc the bronx still have relatively low prices compared to the rest of NYC but rents are still HIGH so if you have a rented unit....the monthly mortgage burden is not that bad. we bought our house for 390k 3 years ago and in total we needed about 17k cash from offer to closing. the vast majority of that was just the 3.5 down payment. i negotiated to have the seller pay our closing costs and again no real estate agents were used. best of luck in your search.
