It has to be move-in ready and pass a fairly strict inspection that's done to the same standards as FHA or VA loans.The property must be in an eligible area, but they interpret "rural" pretty loosely. 

So now let's say you raise the rent to try to boost income, but then you loose one or two tenants in the process.  

Plus the tenants end up getting pissed at you because they are often getting billed well in excess of their usage with no rhyme or reason.  

Here is a short list of what they are looking at having complete: no loose wires, no holes in walls, sheetrock complete, all windows in, roof finished, flooring installed.

Such as: You are behind in your rent in excess of your security deposit.  

But I am concerned about loosing the cash flow which is pretty comfortable right now.

My tenant discovered loose tiles in the shower and there appeared to be mold underneath.

If they sent you a time of the essence with a closing date and you cannot perform then you will loose your emd,

When a tenant moves out, transfer the deposit back to Checking so it's ready to apply towards expenses or to refund to the Tenant.If you end up with excess funds in the Checking account, I recommend you transfer it to a third account that is specifically designated for future investments.

I think you should not look the gift horse in the mouth.good luckYou are not loosing rent.
