Infill empty lots, raise rents, bill back utilities, other?

We are probably looking at another $22k or so in debt service depending on the offer price and interest rate.

Turns out another tenant in the building has suddenly started with the same type of behavior, trying to push lease terms, and trying to dictate when we can send our service guys in, always on their terms, never meeting half way. 

Nope, as a landlord, I want to choose who lives in my place and hold all the cards.And if I wanted to share the cards with someone it would be a PM with a business and insurance, not a person wanting to make a profit by raising the rent above market rate. 

It just depends on what services you provide.

Get a property that people want to live in and price it right you'll have far less issues then a place people have to live at the top of their budget...You'll want market rents to be around the 800+ range (it's ok if they're lower and you can raise them) to about the 1400-1500 range.

Does anyone recommend a service like rentometer or neighborhood scout specifically? 

Your family member is also your cleaning person, maintenance guy, public relations manager, and your property management service. 

Our LTV is less than 50% ( yes no risk at all for the bank, and we have top credit score.We already paid the appraisal, environment fee, wasted countless hours etc...The texts in LOI: Financial covenants:-- Min DCR based on actual rents for the first trust deed of 1.25:1.00 based on a 25 year amortization by the end of 2018.And in the loan doc---Property is to maintain a 1.25:1.00 Debt Service Coverage Ratio, tested annually.We would not have paid the fee and sign the LOI, had he included the phrase tested annually.Please understand that the loan  will be for 10 years long, and we are very confident that we will always have fund for the monthly mortgage payment.

Seller won't make money unless if servicing company grants relocation.
