@Ashish AcharyaThanks for this!

Is this something I should just give in to and provide every few months to keep a good tenant?

We’d love to just keep this home as our first rental property but feel stuck with the high monthly payment due to the 15yr mortgage and the home needing some renovations in the next few years. 

However, my research indicates that these areas have had issues with crime and might be considered rough.Despite this, I understand that these neighborhoods are undergoing significant reconstruction and gentrification projects.

Having trouble analyzing this deal as there are so many variables and I do not have the experiencing analyzing deals to make me feel comfortable taking the risk.Purchase price of the land would be $250,000 not including closing cost or fees, and construction for a new 3/2 home with an attached 1/1 ADU is estimated to cost around $300,000 - $400,000 finished.

This site is the primary website that travel nurses use to find MTR's.  

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

This is a forum to help people grow and learn, not criticize.

I believe that this might be due to a leaking roof but I'm not sure. 

I'm not 100% sure on that, but you can call around to lenders to start planning.
