Tenants required to handle all inside maintenance and outside is the responsibility of the homeowner.

I would like to grow that to at least $5000 and invest but is there a way for me to invest sooner?

The most knowledgeable response would be from an attorney familiar with the rental laws in your area.Our lease agreement basically indicates conditions for immediate lease termination (immediate is within the law). 

The west side is growing its business base, so that could be desirable for commutes. 

When we have a roommate situation, where one of the lease signers wants to leave, the remaining tenants either take full responsibility for the rent among themselves or they find a prospective replacement tenant.

As we are balancing a young, growing family and career, life is busy and crazy at times, but we are anxious to get started in REI, in one form or another.To avoid staying on the sidelines for too long, we are steadily chipping away at our "to-dos" to get started.
