Best of luck, Stay hungry!

Really surprised nobody had any thoughts on this.

I let them know I am hoping they would continue to stay as a tenant, but understand if the increase does not fit into their budget.

Dont be surprise you might need to fine tune your Core 4 on the way..

I am a full time pharmacist and my husband entered back in to the work force about 2 years ago after staying home with our two sons for 6 years.

In the case of value-add, your lender will expect to see monthly #s to ensure you are staying on track. 

Unless of course I find better soil with better conditions where my trees will grow faster and stay healthier or somebody wants to sell me trees that they have planted for a discount.

I've changed 2 property managers in past 3 years and both treated the property as 'just a number' - so I decided to take it into my own hands and stay on top of repairs and tenant issues.Thanks.

If the tenants destroy the property, then they could loose their benefit (at list that's what the Sec 8 office told me I never experienced it) Also Landlords are allowed to give surprised visit to applicant's current resident prior to approval and if the property is kept in bad shape or they don't allow you to enter and inspect, then you can decline the application.

The only thing we can do is stay in the property and do an out of state investment.
