anything less than 12% and 2 points is a big win

It seems like a win win keeping them.

The area attracts many vacationers during the summer months, and if you are able to get some winter renters from Oct - March its a win/win.

Win win. 

So it ends up being a win-win for everyone... we have no rental gap, and the tenant still gets part of the deposits back.  

If you have ever heard the saying you have to be in the game to win the game, I have found that you have to look for properties constantly to find the deal you want, but along the way you find a lot of other properties, that if you had your real estate license you could have made money on. 

Milwaukee is an interesting market (I've been investing here for 15 years) but with 1.6 million people in the metro area and neighborhoods famously changing block-by-block, location is critical.

If the court is really crazy, it could hand a win to tenants, even if the tenants have never mentioned the mold problem before.

It’s usually a win-win for both sides.

Although I think my winning bid was a fair price and would not want to go higher, I would hate it if someone came in with $100 more and won the house.Thank you for answering!
