I agree with the PO box idea! That seems like a good idea, even if the majority pay online. Perhaps I am odd, but I would not be comfortable with any tenant knowing my location.

OH GAWD!!!! Food from 16 years ago?!?! That seriously looks like something out of a mad max movie. Be wary of Rad poisoning!

I asked this question to one of the elderly veterans at my local REI club. Her answer was exactly fifteen. While, I am sure any literal exact answer is bound to be mostly incorrect, perhaps this could give you incentive to acquire more deals!

I haven't done any deals yet. That being said, I wouldn't do it. Real estate is a risk-reward game. You take on the risk of debt for the reward of income or cashflow. To hold so much debt, especially when just starting out, I would say the cash flow would need to be especially enticing to be interested in the deal.

BiggerPockets has never made me laugh this hard XD

At the risk of sounding flippant and uneducated allow me to say...

Haters gonna hate

As obnoxious and cliche as that may sound it certainly rings true here. People are often quick to point out negative aspects to anything. They equip their negative statements with anecdotes of past bad experiences. These experiences, when analyzed, often display a lack of due diligence and/or grit. I agree with the several other users that recommended building a local network to surround yourself with like-minded people; attending my local landlords association meetings have helped me build confidence!  

I've heard to always wait 30 days as a rule of thumb. You also gotta keep in mind, you're in the worst part of the year for selling a house. Stick to your guns!

Nice! Love the wooden floors, and the recessed lightning is a nice touch too!

 That was the most Dave Ramsey-esque thing I've seen on this forum. Kinda refreshing!

 Your phrasing is excellent here! It reminds me of how Kiyosaki always says to look for the "how" instead of saying "can't".
