@Ben Zimmerman

Your response validated some of what I was thinking.. I currently own a 4-plex in Indiana and think I need to abandon ship ASAP without losing as much money as possible (I will definitely lose some money on that investment).

You also mentioned the south.. That's where I was actually looking to move. TN, FL, SC, NC. I TOTALLY agree with you about trying to invest somewhere in close proximity. Thinking about moving to attack the buy & hold strategy.

@Brian Garlington

I hear ya Brian. I invested in Indy because of the cash flow *at the time*. But long term I think Ben is probably right on this one.

What are the key factors that should be used when picking a market to buy and hold in... I can think of a couple right off the bat (economy, population growth), but I know there have to be a few more.

@Jeff Hall

Agreed! Lesson learned.

@Ralph R.

Great insight on this.. I'm in contract with my PM for a year but that leases ends in the beginning of December. Do you recommend going with a big company or with a smaller outfit to take care of the place?

I'm currently using a chain but I'm starting to think that my property is being placed on the back-burner.. Especially considering I'm so far away.

Thanks everyone!

@Joel Owens

I did not buy it from a turn key company. I just found what I thought was a great opportunity on MLS and it's worked out great to this point. And I did read all the leases but not in great detail.. To be honest.. If this investment doesn't hurt me in the long run I think I'll be lucky. I definitely jumped in prematurely.. But I justified it by saying "gotta get started."

Great idea about seeing if someone is available to check on the property in person for me.. Anybody need some eyes out in Vegas!?

@Tony Gunter

@Debra Grumbach

I DO need to start shopping for better property management. I ended up using a "chain" property management company instead of an individual because I thought I'd be better protected... Anybody got a PM company recommendation out in Indy?

@Alexander Felice

No.. No eviction. Brand new to this thing. Only owned the property (my first) for 9 months now. I'll definitely do some leaning in the morning.

@Michael Boyer

I love this breakdown! Sounds absolutely right. Lessons learned... and time to learn to set expectations and standards.. My hope is that I get out of this over the next year or so without anybody taking anything personal and destroying the place.. Honestly can't afford all four tenants trashing the place at the same time.

@Anthony Gayden

I've owned the property for 9 months now.

This all sounds like I need to have a conversation with property management and set my expectations.. Little of which I had since this is my first ever investment.

@Jason Boulay

That's an amazing point about the holidays.. Man.. This is likely going to ruin MY holiday.

I appreciate the tips

@Alexander Felice

I wouldn't.

@Joel Owens

I live in Las Vegas, NV and the property is in Indianapolis. I don't have any contact with the tenants as property management handles that.

I don't know if the tenants talk or not and no, I haven't been collecting late penalties. I inherited the tenants and am not sure what the late penalty language is.

I contacted property management and am having a call in the morning.. But I'm a little bit worried because I don't know that I can get all the tenants back to paying on time... since they are paying at THE END of the month.

I don't believe any of them are family or friends.

It's going to cost me a TON to evict them all at once, obviously. I'm not sure what to do here.

Hi everyone.

So, I've had my 4-plex for about 8 months now and had no issues with collecting rent  for the first 6 months.. Then.. One tenant started to pay a little bit late because of some issues she was going through financially.. But then suddenly, in July... ALL 4 TENANTS went delinquent.. paying more than 3 weeks late the last two months.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? What should I do? This is my first ever investment and I'm looking for some advice.

Thank you

Hey everyone,

I entirely halted contributions to my 401k so that I could save up faster for real estate deals. I currently have now maybe about 10% of my net worth "trapped" in IRA's and my 401k. I also invest in out of state real estate and I think it's the way to go. Maybe I'm wrong on this and need correction, but I thought diversification was for average folk?
