Whether you’re dealing with non-payment of rent or other lease violations, this resource explains what landlords need to know to remain compliant and protect their investment. 

If you feel the need to explain why you hit the "reject" button, you could add to any of those: We are closing this leasing process by rejecting all remaining applications in the queue. 

If you’re looking for ways to make the numbers work, sometimes that means evaluating different markets, financing options, or property management strategies that help mitigate risks like vacancies and maintenance surprises.You’re not alone in feeling like 2025 could go in multiple directions, but one thing remains true—real estate continues to be one of the strongest vehicles for long-term wealth when approached the right way.

Quote from @Theresa Harris: Eg (making up numbers) if a fridge lasts for 15 years, and they break a 10 year old fridge to the point it can't be repaired, you can only charge them 1/3 of the price of a new one as it had 5 years left.Technically, she should be charging for the remaining 5 years of the existing one, not a new one. 

There are really great REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are particularly lucrative - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.

You'll improve over time, but this basic formula remains.1.

Although I've considered a future line of credit against the property as my best long term option, I would need to pay down the remaining balance first.
