If that is true then figure out what you can buy with that 155 as your down payment find a deal but I will caution you that finding something might take a long time and you would most likely have to pay capital gains if you do not buy in the same year as you sell.I just think that for 10.00 a month difference I would not even get out of bed 1 minute earlier.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

True story-- on one of our last open houses-- the cops came by because there was too much activity (15-20 people?)

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

I know in Oregon its for sure true I have 3 separate developers licenses and have been fined twice to the tune of 6k for not having them..

Odds are those all go up.....Expense go up and rent goes down is the making of a bad investment for you.At best I would drop it and require them to have professional yard care be paid for by them..... even that would be a stretch unless my rent is higher than marketOpening the box of letting tenants dictate the rent is a bad precedent to start.....I might do this...1 year lease at $2800........ 2 year lease at $2700....

@Leah Stewart, have you consulted a local QB professional?

@Rob Wilcox I'm not an accountant so definitely consult your own accounting and tax professionals.
