The Christmas Duplex: Concerning the Former Owner

[Jim K.]

Have you ever met someone who has no clue how lucky he is? The kind of guy who might buy as a first property investment a duplex in Pennsylvania when he lives in North Carolina, decides to remote-manage it, populates it with one tenant on disability who was evicted from her last place and a second tenant who has a long history of getting his driver's icense suspended, and yet this owner manages to keep the wheels on the bus FOR EIGHT YEARS before he starts really losing money?

People that lucky offend me. They really do. And it didn't help that the guy showed his true colors in the end and he is a total, total a-clown. My closing coordinator actually called me up special about it, worried that i wasn't understanding how obviously unethical this guy was.

Just a question:  Aren't you glad you're not him?

Think of what he could have achieved with the property if he had been the real deal.  Good riddance him and get in there and create your own magic.  He's the type of guy you can't wait to miss...

Congrats on your acquisition.
