Does it make sense to include internet with the utilities (that I already pay) to possibly rent my units for more money than similar properties?

You provide the space and utilities.

I might have need to utilize these funds for other reasons in the next year or 2 as well - if other investment opportunities arise, if we move into a bigger house, if I decide to go the self-employment/small business route. 

We are looking for a 1-bedroom apartment and they seem to be priced around 750-950 + utilities. 

The house:Commercial property - 2 family mixed use with a commercial kitchen, and a cottage on the same lotI reached out to about 5 lenders, and every single one of them said I could not utilize FHA loan on this property.

So is there a way that you screen existing/inherited tenants that differs from the way you screen new potential tenants or do you ever give priority in taking care of inherited tenants, not from an emotional or friendly standpoint of being fair, but from the business perspective of providing good customer service will ultimately result in more responsible tenants or that are more long term?    

Lost rents (2-12 weeks), extra holding costs (lawn care, utilities, etc.,) make ready costs (frequently $500-$5,000), mortgage, insurance, taxes, and tenant placement fee.Every case is different.

Due to this we were able to negotiate a great price and utilize seller carried financing.How did you finance this deal?

So, the motto is cover yourself first and worry about your client and customer second.
