Quote from @Natalia Perlova: Hi there BP community, looking for your advice on the following please: i inherited a section 8 tenant who pays way below market, acts shady, had an issue with the leaky toilet for years, which damaged the floor and cost me $$$ to fix.

JUST HERE TO GIVE A QUICK RECAP OF MY 2024 SO I CAN SOMEDAY LOOK BACK AND LAUGH HOW THIS YEAR WAS A NIGHTMARE AND PRODUCTIVE ALL IN ONE LOL FUNNY ENOUGH THE YEAR STARTED ON A GREAT NOTE I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO MY FIRST FIX & FLIP  DEAL  WITH MY WIFE!!

Seeking to invalidate someone's perspective before asking for details is not productive.

Joining the community is a huge step towards reaching your RE goals.

Then your best bet are probably community banks which have more flexibility (albeit worse terms) than larger banks and also worth looking into are DSCR lenders.

Mid-term is more likely to work in any market than STR, but I think you would be surprised at how well an STR could do if there are no other options like that in the area (think people's parents or friends coming in for the week(end)).I've seen a lot of people grimacing at the net-negative house hack (it's just a product of rates and low inventory in a lot of markets) and this is one option to try to recoup some of that loss.

Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

I can find properties that hit the 1% rule in some small communities, but they are having declines in population.

I got in for no money in a C plus community so I made a move.

I knew there was something wrong when they didn’t have a Facebook community to join like they said they did.
