Well, it turns out he had a huge rap sheet including harboring a fugitive, battery with a weapon, drugs, ect ect.

In my previous duplex, once my reserves would hit $5k I would then pay down the mtg.This is an a growing area outside of my local mid-south metro.  2 universities, military base, and new battery plant (being built) plus a local boom of transplants in the mid south.Asking price is $840k however it just came to market, so not sure how much negotiating room.Would love to hear thoughts and opinions.View report*This link comes directly from our calculators, based on information input by the member who posted.

Mine states they are responsible for replacing consumables (light bulbs, batteries, air filters), ordinary pest control, lawn care, etc.

This line item is for those known but unexpected expenses that always come up when you least want them to (new car battery, new washing machine, whatever).

How about finding some raw land, spend as little as possible clearing it and then set up some portable solar, some battery storage and turn it into a RV park.

I can also adjust how often the lock connects to wifi and receives new information (Tradeoff quick response to remote adjustment for battery life of my lock).

I only discuss things once with the tenant and if there are any further repeated issues I go straight to the section 8 advocate for that tenant.Make sure you have clearly stated rules in to your lease - tenant changes smoke alarms batteries, no pulling down smoke detectors, dogs on leash, no unauthorized overnight stays more that three days, where to park, etc...Finally, any rules for the section 8 tenant must be enforced for all tenants.

There is much more than the house that will be required to make this work, meaning more costs than just the price of the module that the factory sends you. 

Although I do think property tax's being what they are in Texas is modulate the values somewhat??
