Your book recommendation is something like my GF wound come up with.

I asked one of the neighborhood trustees about it and he explained there was originally a house on it but the ground settled and the house wound up being demolished.

People lost "a couple shingles" and lawyered-up to fight their insurance companies, and wound up with an entirely new roof.

I wound up meeting a few property flippers and after talking to them realized many of them are not great at sourcing deals.

I’ll lick my wounds and move on.

It seems like that is rubbing salt into the wound of those homeowners hosting in that location.American Renaissance, the organization at the heart of this story, is a known hate group that promotes ethnic cleansing.

I actually wound up taking care of a bunch of other minor things while preparing the property for lead testing (e g junk removal) so it turned into an opportunity to take care of punch-list items I’d been putting off.Overall the process was much easier than I expected.  

The Strata wound be small and only common property it would be responsible for is the driveway.  

Regroup, lick your wounds.

I think folks get way too wound up on these numbers without realizing that the value of owning rentals is in Equity appreciation and then moving that equity and appreciation up to bigger better buys.. in my mind to simply run the math at 200 a month and think you need 20 doors to get your 4k a month net.. well then what.. ???
