That’s just criminal and I hope the present government is recalled or defeated in the next election.

The neighborhood is multiple duplexes and is governed by a condo association who supposedly maintains the exterior and roofs.I am not sure if I should negotiate the cost of regrading/French drain into the initial offer or wait until inspection.

I would like to use the DOD SkillBridge program, where I can train under a small business in an intern capacity to receive OJT while still being compensated by the government. 

Your only shot is to threaten to report them to their government assistance office.The system is all about renting to tenants who have privilege's.   

Let’s say that the real inflation rate is as low as government claims at 2% if your property goes up 2% a year and is75% leveraged at 3% interest with a 5 cap property after costs.

We have a huge government and university job base that keeps us out of any rollercoaster ride you see in Phoenix and other cities. 

I'm actually selling a couple of mine for that exact reason, take care of some debt with the free money the government is printing.

The downsides here are high prices and low availability of multifamily homes in my area (new england), the loss of mortgage payments going instead to renting in the meantime (around 15k/year) as well as whispers of government stepping into the multifamily space causing some concern.3) FHA on a Condo: This is a compromise between the two: Lower cost of entry (~100K or so depending on the conditions), HOA is akin to rent but I still get to put money into building equity.

You must of missed the highly publisized massive looting and riots over the summer in Philadelphia, which creating massive flight of residents to move to the suburbs reversing the move to a complete halt to the move back into the urban cities, the city government is strangleheld in all the cities referenced above for this completely.

If the government is going to say "you're not allowed to evict people", then how the hell can a landlord allow someone that's 'iffy' to lease?
