 I'm never gonna quit ! Came to far to get this one property ! 

 Thank you !

I've been working and saving up . 

Thank you guys . I mean this lady is just crazy scream at me when i call for rent . 

Hello guys , 

I have a huge problem ( i mean huge) . Long story short ( Very long story ) i brought a home in Cleveland for 13K 2 family my first property . When i brought the home it was full with people living up and down stairs Rented both generating $1100 in rent combined . Soon as  the property is purchased both tenants leave . Wow ! now i come to Cleveland to see what's going on come to the home there gone and now i have to paint the upper stairs and put in new carpet . The problem i had was i didn't have the funds at the time to do the repairs . I knew a contractor before i bought the home that i mean at a reo property . So i tell him what had happen and then he tells me that he would help me do the repairs and i'll pay him one i get it rented . I thought it was a good idea at the time . So tell him i'll get a tenant just do the repairs . I leave to go back to new york were i work and live . i left the keys to the home with him (i know i know ) . he calls me 2 weeks later and tells me to speak with my tenant . I'm shocked!!!!!!!!!!! she yells at me over the phone about repairs and i never meet this woman a day in my life .  She pays the contractor $1100.00 first months rent and deposit . He moves the woman in to the first floor unit with out telling me . she puts him back on the phone i say why did you do that . he tells me well i gotta get paid . He told me before that it would only cost $400 dollars to do the work But over the phone he tells me that it cost $1300 i tell him that's not what we agreed upon . He stops answering my calls i go to cleveland and all he did was paint 2 rooms and remove clothes from the attic . Fast forward now the woman says she wants to stay and pay rent . i said ok ( bad idea ) The woman has been in the home 3 months and only paid me $100 dollars . Now i'm trying to figure out who to get her out i don't have a lease with her and she won't leave . i really bad she's using up so much water it's unreal . 

I really think it's gonna come down to what you know and how bad do you really want it . I think you should look at other markets outside of New York . Were your money will have more value honestly . New York is so over priced and cost of living is so high most people in New York are getting some kind of rent assistance. I lived here all my life it isn't a place for little fish (I'm a little fish) .

I'm planning on buy a rentals property . I have a low paying job and i think it will be herd to get a loan so i came up with this plan instead . I want to buy my first property cash (That i saved up) and then take a equity loan on the home ager it's been rented and buy another home . i wanted to know what you guys thought about that .
