Second , there are 7 days in a week , work them all , it solves 2 problems , you wont have time to spend money and you will be making more .  

Can you eliminate markets that wont work? 

BUT, then you want those landlords to judge every single tenant individually and not lump them all together with the ones that lie, cheat, steal, and destroy the property on purpose?

Duplex appraised 380 (super ****ing low ball) brings in an estimated 3,900 a month in rents. buyer agreed and SIGNED addendum to purchase at 397,500. day of closing they dont show, tell us they didnt know what they agreed to pay over appraised value and are trying to get us to accept 386k. my agent had me lock in our month to month long term tenant to a year lease for THEIR lender and now they pull this.. they have only 5k in escrow account.. my agent wont reduce his commission from 3%-2% to help bridge the gap. suggestions?? 

Your renters will destroy these items and want you to replace them. 

I know I want to do this but am suffering from a bit of analysis paralysis trying to figure out if I should jump right in and do small multi-family project or just do a small deal to get my feet wet where if I mess up it wont derail the whole endeavor.

During the work i konw that there wont be any rent. 

After the fire in 2016 damaged or destroyed more than 2,000 buildings, 16,000 acres, with 16 lives lost, I think they are trying to be better about enforcement.

So I wont say not to buy cause I have and it has paid well but getting anything appraised is PAINFUL.

I wont go into all the specifics of my strategy, but basically I am buying a 450k+ home for 25-30k out of pocket and my partner puts in 330k from the SBLOC.
