We have had utility companies work with us to get them set up proper after the fact.I would not ignore this one, I would nip it in the bud.  

@Andrew SyriosRespectfully, your analysis ignores the money spent on mortgage payments over 20 years.If you invest $20,000 and nothing for 20 years and then get $80,000; the return might be 7.8% but your chart ignores all the monthly payments for years 1 thru 20 - that’s 240 payments you have not accounted for.

Also let's ignore the other 99 percent of the land area of and around Pensacola that perfectly fits my description.

In our case the tenant ignored notices from them and did not tell us about any issues.

I knew exactly what I needed to dive in to learn more about and ignored everything else for now.

@Caroline GerardoThey don’t follow the contract at all, and ignore payment schedule on paper

I did not see that when I first started out, but the seed that was planted has blossomed beautifully.Initially I ignored real estate investing because it felt too slow and too expensive at the time.

They might just ignore your attempt to negotiate as your contract states you have no right to negotiate.

If the legislature does not figure out some clever way to "extend it without extending it" (which they probably will), because this will create bad PR for their "downtrodden" tenant constituents (many of whom have collected stimulus money, buffed up unemployment, and other public assistance for MONTHS and ignored their rent obligations with no consequences), I am sure the politicians will find some way to drag out all the eviction hearings. 

@Abbas MohammedWhile it's hard to ignore the notion of timing I think many are aware of the comparison of trying to time the market and catching a falling knife.
