- FYI: it's only illegal to try to rent it out, the property owner can usually legally live in a nonconforming basement unit.If you do all this you may still negatively cashflow each month, so make sure your income can cover and/or your cash reserves.If you do this successfully, you will learn more in 1-2 years than you would reading here on BP for 5+ years:)Good luck:)

Wow, that’s a tough spot, and it really sounds like you tried your best to meet them halfway.

Or let it go to foreclosure and try and grab it then. 

I think what I am trying to say, is don't focus on the task, but your responsibility. 

After a cleaner starts randomly trying to bill me extra they usually don’t last very much longer before they make some excuse to quit or ask a fee “after working” that I don’t pay and then we mutually part ways. 

@Leslie L Meneus you are trying to find a tribe of super freaks.Let me explain…Only 6% of Americans own one or more rental property.  

Should I go hard money, HELOC or since I have an LLC, try to get a line of credit? 

I'm really just trying to figure out how to structure my deals with little money and little room for error.

.-- Try free TV or something else worth 25-50% of one month of rent.-- Or, what we do is offer the free rent AFTER & ONLY if they pay their first 3 months of rent on time to earn it.4) Lower the rent 5% every 2-4 weeks until activity picks up.5) Understand this is the worst time of year to find tenants.-- Starts picking back up end of February when this tenant pool starts getting their income tax refunds and aren't broke anymore.6) Section 8: where is the property being advertised?

I'm trying to find a lender that will use AirDNA rents.
