It gets real fun when you are doing an eviction of an uncooperative tenant in normal times and when you add court costs and vacancy you are looking at 3 months+ of lost rent, and the tenant was essentially committing identity fraud to qualify in the first place.

My contracting work is booming , my properties are paid for and all my tenants have jobs in essential services and are all paying . 

The research and team building phases are essential, but ensuring you narrow down your search will keep you focused.

That is usually not the case - you have to build familiarity first (people call it your brand, seems a stretch in light of real consumer brands, buy essentially yes) and now when a situation arrises they will remember you.

@Jordan MeyerI don’t have time to read all the post, but essentially look at market growth + reality - facts +/- your energy influence.

It's primarily trucking and warehousing and so they're still all working as they're considered essential. 

Essentially I can claim my income from this property tax free as the tenants are friends and they pay me in cash.

You would also be required to pay PMI on the loan, but you're essentially already paying that in the FHA MIP.Your best case scenario is that your renovations significantly improve the value of the property.

So called “progressive” cities have singled out landlords for what is essentially property confiscation through eminent domain, income redistribution through rent control, and wealth distribution through tenant retention rights.

So essentially we would have a 4 bedroom single family and a garage with 1 unit for the total all in of $53k.
