She maintains her apartment and dogs are in cages or outside, but the place smells like a kennel.

They do have an early termination fee, but I feel that's fair as they have placed the tenant without cost, and our goals are aligned as they prefer long-term tenant as well.    

We have several pictures demonstrating that the condition of the foliage is clearly encroaching the unit and is clear negligence on the tenant to maintain the landscaping which resulted in the unit overheating.Lease states that the tenant is responsible maintaining the yard.

Ideally, by the time we're in our mid 40's, it would be nice if she could switch to a part time/casual type of work schedule and I could leave my full time job and concentrate on maintaining our real estate portfolio full time, and we could both have more time to spend with our 5 kids and eventual grandchildren.My wife and I talk about saving a lump sum to put down on our first rental, but after spending 15 months saving and paying off debt, I am ready to start investing! 

@Daniel D.It’s pretty much the only way of getting business credit , you won’t get it without a LLC & EIN.Its based on personal credit but is a second line of credit, hidden from your FICO , it’s fairly straightforward and can find you $50 to $100k useable funds within a couple of yearsIf you plan to be in real estate for ever, then it’s a no brainer to start building business credit

Apartments can be expensive to maintain and tenets may not pay.

Fair warning, I work with few guys who own homes in Lawton, and their biggest gripe is the houses don't appreciate in that area.

The Fair Housing Act applies to all ground floor dwelling units in non-elevator buildings consisting of four or more dwelling units.

I’ve been forced into the analysis paralysis by my good wife who would like our kids to be in school before we start purchasing properties (that’s fair).

Without taking advantage of people, but charging a "fair market rate" I can do quite well with it.
