Maybe they want a new fan, or a motion detected security light-- show them you aren't just raising rent, but you're actively improving their homes.   

If your lease with the tenants stated they are responsible for this bill, I'd suggest you pay it right away to avoid the lean and include it as part of the security deposit settlement process. 

There are no limitations on pet fees.There is a limit on "pet security deposit".

I assume you got the security deposit from the seller so you can sue that to pay the missing rent and any damage that has occurred. $700 for a water heater sounds like a steal. $200/mowing seems high, luckily that will go away next month at the latest?

Folks, I had been asked to do a Private money loan (secured by real estate) for an investor looking to buy a property in Nebraska.

There is a reason that A-class properties have a small COC rate, because they give SECURITY, reliability, performance, and equitable gains.

As per their lease, any lease break forfeits the return of the security deposit and tenant is responsible for the remaining balance due to the end of the lease term.  

@David Kelly I think I would rather be put on the title after the mortgage has been secured in someone else’s name.

Are you not able to secure traditional financing?

All:  How would you compare the relative security (of your investment) for a warehouse/logistics center with office space with a national tenant like OfficeMax, Staples, or similar with a NNN lease with several years left and renew options; vs. a large 100-200 unit multi-family with decent occupancy in a good area?
