After being cursed out several times from my mentally sick tenant, I couldn't get a contractor to go do any work, neither did I want to go over to the house. 

When we flipped the switch and decided to grow, we changed from the mentality of "stay small and keep it all" to "risk it all and reap the reward".  

They must bring payment to court or they are out.With most Sec 8 tenants, I have noticed that they have an entitlement mentality, however they don't mess around with non-payment, and even taking it a step further, not letting RRHA pay me by not signing the HAP contract..

Two big causes of moisture I have observed are tenants running humidifiers and not using exhaust fans when in the shower (make sure your bathroom has an exhaust fan).

My day is full of these little 5-10 minute gaps where I can't get back to work on something until someone else finishes their part and passes it back to me. 5-10 minutes isn't really enough time to get to work on a different file, but it is enough to read a BP thread and reply to it, and it keeps me in work-related mental place, unlike say facebook or youtube. 

As my tax returns have grown more complex getting conventional financing has become increasingly exhaustive with my last fannie mae conforming refinance taking 5 months.I have around 575 liquid in deposit account in addition to all the equity in my portfolio.

It affected my mental health so much I had to undergo medical treatment and physical therapy. 

If you can't save with this job either reevaluate you spending, cut where you can and/or get a second job.In some ways, I hate the no/low money down mentality of BP. 

After 3 months of total exhausting rehab I refinanced @ 13% & paid him off.I still own this property (it's rented) & the smaller home next door just went on the mkt for $599,900.But we do get 18-20% returns up here based on what we initially pay & what we re-sell them at by holding the notes @ 12-14%. 

Yeah its a pretty weird situation, but ill exhaust every resource before I pass up the opportunity to sell it to a buyer that may be interested.
