Quote from @Michael Penny: @Chris Seveney what encouraged you to move to Madison vs staying with Inspira(?)?  

We get a condo rental in Oceanside typically, and stay for 2 weeks. 

If tenants stay one year on average, you will need to show 12 units for a 12 unit property every year.

The landlords aren’t staying silent either.

I also have a $50k line of credit I can tap into when needed that will grow as I keep growing the business.Right now my rent is about $1700 where I've been staying for over a year, but really wanting to trade that for a mortgage and start building that equity.

Screwed up our taxes numerous times and last month our insurance was dropped since they didn't pay it appropriately.  

I grew up in RI and my dad is a carpenter in the area (was as my parents recently moved to FL) but that got me into that market with some local presence as I stayed in the Boston area. (4) properties and 14 units later, I still find myself investing in RI as the price point is about half of Boston but the cash flow is similar.
