I've owned this nice little 5-unit for a couple of years now...not too many issues...great tenants (except when they died, which is another story altogether!) All of the sudden...issues!

Issue #1

I got a new tenant (not dead) about two months ago...passed credit check...had cash for security and first month rent. 30 days later, they can't pay the rent. Now, they are moving, which is fine, especially since one is moving to jail. The apartment should be ready to rent on March 1st.

Issue #2

Another tenant, who "came with the place" after being flooded out of his home, has finally found a new home. They should close soon, and the apartment should be ready to rent on March 1st.

Issue #3

Yet another tenant, who happens to be my son, has been building a new house. The house has been coming along fine, and they should be able to move in shortly after March 1st!

Issue #4

The deadbeat tenants from Issue #1 called to let me know there was a leak around their window. My roofing guy just called to let me know that the freakin' roof is missing! :wtf: Well, not the whole roof, but a six-foot section of the shingle material has blown off, the wood is rotten, and the rest of the shingles are hurting big time.

I'm a little afraid to get behind the wheel of my car...
