@Paul Palmer Welcome to BP.

@Kori Weisser welcome to BP. Feel free to reach out if you need anything.

@DAn L. I may be wrong, but I don't see any municipality issuing an occupancy certificate for these.

what kind of trailer are you using as the base, the tires look super small.

@Mark Kumm they say if it sounds to good to be true then..... :)

@Alan Yanik welcome to BP

@Aaron Francis If your applicant standards allow for a person with no form of income to pay the rent, then I see no problem with this.

If your standards do not allow for this,  never deviate for any reason.

@Christy Byrd Welcome to BP. :)

@Justin D Schwartz I am in the same position. my exam is scheduled for the 23rd of this month. I took the kaplan course,  and I paid extra for the PSI drill question bank. I feel that I am fully prepared for the test. 

If your school does not offer this, I would suggest purchasing a study guide directly from PSI. If you fail just dust off, and take it again :)

@Brian Wheeler congratulations on your deals. You have accomplished what a majority of people are to scared, or lazy to do. Keep the momentum going :)

 I would be interested in knowing the outcome of a $175 rent increase, I have a feeling she will walk. 

What if you offered to continue a month to month at $1050, a 24 month lease at $925, or a 12 months at $975 or something similar. I have found people respond more favorably when they feel they have choices.

Also I would try to find out why she has stayed for 27 years, and why she has stayed on the month to month for so long. Knowing her situation completely will help provide a solution both parties can live with.  

If you back her into a corner with $175 increase her only choices will be to take it or leave, and trying to extract every penny from a tenant usually costs more in the long term.
