She treats the property horribly (I am constantly cleaning up her mess outside (dirty diapers, clothing etc.) her place every time I go to cut the lawn) and I have no option besides getting her out of the property (I have been way too lenient with her).I am looking to serve her a 30 day notice to terminate month to month tenancy but she still has not paid this months rent.

You figure out what it TAKES to become succesful and then use what you have to get what it takes, to become succesful.If it requires 40 hours a day, $3000/week on marketing, decent clothing, proper english, a decent car and knowledge about the niche... well figure out a way to slow down time to fit 40 hours in a day because that is what it takes!

It's simple to design emails, and the ability to schedule them in advance is a fantastic feature.

In my experience 10% of residents will know how to change a furnace filter and actually use them.For example, at our property about 1/3 of all maintenance calls are for clothes dryers. 

I also host a local real estate meetup in Worcester, it's a fantastic opportunity to meet other investors, lenders, contractors and potentially find deals.

@Nathan Gesner makes some fantastic points!

Absolutely, real estate can still be a fantastic asset class, especially when viewed from a total return perspective as you've outlined.

Purchasing a turnkey duplex can be a fantastic investment opportunity.

She's fantastic.

Overall, Pompano is a fantastic hidden gem, and I love living here.
