I work full time for a Home Health company and enjoy beekeeping, kayak fishing and traveling with my wife.  

For instance, if the seller says they're dealing with health issues and the mortgage payment is too high, then this person is motivated.

After meeting with the three inherited tenants we soon realized that one seems to be a "professional tenant" (only has a verbal lease, pays $100 less than market rent, and works for a local property management company; which leads me to believe he knows his rights as a tenant and won't budge on anything unless it directly benefits him)The second tenant appears to be a chronic complainer, and the third tenant seems to be no problem at all.I received a call today from the second tenant notifying me that the "professional tenant" who lives below him, is smoking weed and cigarettes in his unit and the smell is travelling to the upper unit and has been affecting his health and quality of living.Apparently in Ontario, smoking in a unit is not grounds for eviction, even if it was stated in a signed lease agreement.

So the economic factors seem to support long-term health of rentals.

Due to health reasons, I did not get eviction filed in timely manner on a current tenant .... we went to court today for her eviction .... finally .....of course she did not show up!  

Most states required a certified industrial hygienist to approve of the clean up, and most states require a certificate of occupancy permit Contact your state department of health for more information on this.

for $16 a year I get great discounts and access to health insurance, as well as AARP The Magazine!!

I've come to realize, for a variety of personal reasons (busy job, young family, some health issues, and other personal reasons) that I will very likely need a property manager.
