[quote=Rich Toscano]Wow…. just wow. Coronita you’re lucky the guy keeps paying rent for those times when he’s at work or out running errands![/quote]
He’s working from home. So that argument won’t fly. In fact I brought this up…
“Dude, you’re plane ticket might have gone up. But you’re saved a boatload on gas by not having to drive to work everyday!!!”
I forgot to include how he responded to that too…
I’m not even making this shit up…
His response to what I original said “I can come over to shutoff the water while he’s away so minimize the risk of a pipe burst and damage..” before we went down the rathole of asking for a rent reduction was… he then asked: “well, if that’s the case, can you give me a discount for not using the water for 2 months”… I’m like dude, are you serious. You aren’t paying for water anyway the HOA is.. I AM!!!
God, please just make the decision to move out… I don’t have the heart to kick him out and otherwise he’s trouble free. But like I said, I don’t mind collecting an extra $200-250/month with a new tenant and/or selling the place for close to $400k and getting 2.75x return on my initial cash investment…
Especially if they do decide to get rid of the 1031 exchange, now’s probably a good time to do it for one last time.
In fact, maybe I’ll send him text message saying i need a decision by the end of this week on whether he is going to terminate lease because I want to re rent and/or sell. Is that legal? I don’t see why not. He’s on month-to-month anyway. So I don’t even need to wait past 30days i think. And it’s not like I’m saying I’m going to raise rent on him, even though I think technically I could….I just want him to make up his freaking mind.
