If you renew them, expect more of the same - especially with a baby on the way and all the additional expenses associated with that.You state painting will be $5k, but how much is a less stressful tenant worth to you?

If things go well, I would like to acquire additional properties in the area to expand what is currently a baby portfolio consisting of a single condo in Denver ☺.

You cannot legally have "all guy" or "all girl" houses.

I understand that and I am perfectly willing to adjust the credit in a few months after learning more about actual usage.The issue comes as the tenant (who has been there only for 2 months, and some of the billing cycles are 2 months) has started to make demands that, to me, are not only unreasonable but petty that are making me guess if I should find a way to cancel their contract.Some of the demands are:- They complained about taking the trash bins out for pickup, as the side unit (a single mom and a baby) use it too - To which I found someone else that does it now for both- Complained about the cost of mowing the grass, as again, other people live in the property - This side unit is in the side of the house and do not share the front lawn - I will not accommodate for that- Complained about a portion of the house being too hot due to bad placement of the central AC vents - To wich I just installed an extra mni split to help cool doenIn addition to this, our contract says they should have put the utilities under their names within 3 days of renting, which they have not (breach of contract).

I'm trying to balance my allocations.I was reading how the baby boomers retiring and selling over their portfolios is going to a have a massive effect on equities.

I could buy a property (seller financed) on TERMS from an aging baby-boomer that would be much less than rent payments, and over time I would OWN a property for much less than RENTING a property.

These are mainly the baby boomer generation.

Over the last 6 months I’ve found myself applying endlessly for jobs in communications/PR/socials and getting no where so I’ve decided it’s a sign that I should finally get into my lifelong passion of REI which would also give me the flexibility to spend as much time as possible with my babies too.
