@Brian C.

 did you get any responses on this post?

When I have rented apartments the landlords allowed for an accent wall to be painted - at their expense.  I would offer something similar - but only if you are getting market rates for the place.  

In this case it's difficult because they have given you an ultimatum.  Also consider how good of a tenant this person has been.  You want to renew, so it surprises me that this sort of behavior just surfaced.  That sets the wrong tone.  

I would paint offer an accent wall upon renewal with the raised rent for a good tenant.  

I hope this helps.

@Tony Farese It may depend on your market.  I pay around $400 in Northern Virginia and I have an inspector that I prefer to use.  They are not all the same - so you may ask for a reference from someone in your area.

I hope that helps.

@Carson Thank you.  I will look into getting involved.

Is anyone here involved in the local REIAs?

@Josiah Mosley I'm not sure if you have started listening to the Pod casts yet - but they are a wealth of information.  I listened to #70 today and thought of you because seller finance is covered a bit.  I'm sure there are others, but just wanted to let you know.

I hope that helps.

So in order to get to the second bedroom you have to go through the bathroom?

Why not buy your family out either now or over time?  

Don't forget you can plug these into the BP Calculators too. 

I hope that helps.

@Manuel Hi and welcome to BP.  

What is your strategy?  Multi Families for buy and hold?  4 units and less?
