I understand that landlord tenant laws were made to protect tenants at a time when tenants were taken advantage of but now it seems as if we've gone too far in the other direction.

When I sat down with the finance guy we got to talking and he started to explain how I could take advantage of a simple interest loan, specifically in the state of TX because of a "loophole" in the TX finance code.

The higher DTI for FHA is currently not available, so that's not an advantage anymore (at least for the time being).

If will tell you their motivation, so that you can use that to your advantage in negotiating the price. 

Tell the tenant it is to their advantage because they are not locked in.

I’d be ready to take advantage of potential deals.

Our (state and city both have the same expiration date) eviction moratorium is set to expire at month end but 1) I expect it to be extended 2) even if it is not extended, there is likely to be a backlog of evictions.Basically, I want as much confidence that our new tenant has been paying their rent and is not taking advantage of any foreclosure moratorium.Good luck and stay healthy.

Is there anywhere where there is discussion of options for security systems; advantages/disadvantages, cost/benefit?

We saw the value in the deal, and didn't want to take advantage of the sellers if they would agree to our terms.

I've been informed that the courts open (as of now) 5/18 but first they are going to start with cases that were postponed due to COVID.my tenant was a problem before COVID and he is just taking advantage of the crisis.
