Has anyone ever faced an issue like this, and have you successfully negotiated a higher rent that is well supported by local comparable values and even HUD numbers that you've received from a housing authority? 

I graduated from college with a degree in business administration so have a basic understanding as to what makes businesses successful.

To insure success, follow what Brent stated above...Be SPECIFIC !!!

Follow them closely to see how successful they are a year from now!

Im only 15 but im open to any basic tips that can help me be successful  in the long run when i get my real estate license at the age of 18.

I was also able to negotiate lower rates with the contractors we did use to re-wire and re-plumb the house because I did most of the grunt work.

What type of interest do you typically offer your lenders or do you negotiate on a case by case basis?

That is an awesome success story.  

I am a successful business owner for two other companies and a single mother of two young boys that I homeschool.
