But they have to be actual deals... no smoke and mirrors.

He really is a great tenant other than not paying on time, he never has people over, no pets, smokes outside, he never makes a lot of noise, he keeps his place cleaner than I keep my own.He's very friendly and likable guy, always is reassuring that he is going to pay and pay the late fee when he gets paid and that he understands "business is business" and he's "not going to let me down".

@Mark Ferguson sounds like you're off to a smoking start.

The problem is financig my primary residence for the move to a new location, I have considered hard money for this, but id need to find a smoking good deal to not have to put up a significant ammount of cash.

I spoke to the city and before the closing I will need to have a licensed contractor send a bid to the city to be approved on all of the problems found on the city inspection report, which includes a bid on everything from putting in a smoke detector to cleaning out a gutter.

Actually, that would be a smoking hot return in CA!

When you start redoing they start doing things like hardwired smoke detectors in all bedrooms or egress sized windows in all bedrooms (may not be the best examples but gives you an idea).

I've read MANY posts on other sites about how Springfield renters are mainly pot smoking lazy bums that don't care about their living conditions and will likely not pay rent and often damage your property.I invest in multifamily part time and looking for good cash flow to support retirement in 15 years.

This is majorly problematic and leads me to think this is a cloud of smoke and they have no idea what they are talking about.

I will get people saying my battery is dead in the smoke alarm!
