@Theresa HarrisThen hang on and ride this out.

This means that, as a foreign buyer, you're protected as long as you're on the ride side of the law.

Someone else may say its free money and let it ride, so invest it in something super high risk and high reward and if I win they I win but if I lose it all I lose it all. 

I think Texas probably ranks up there because of wind and hail .. and really bad soils that wreck foundations..

Hey Jack,Welcome to the real estate journey....it's an exciting ride!

These quit early propagators don't tell the "students" that nothing in real estate is actually passive other than syndications and you still need to crush the due diligence to not get taken for a ride.

@Hai Le - I have a quadraplex with a single water meter and I was unable to find a system that shows water usage by unit.

I would just like to get 1 under my belt and ride if for a short time before moving onto the nextLook for a local REIA in your area and in the events forum here on BP.

It’s not always a smooth ride, but those first bumps are where the real lessons hit hardest—speaking from experience—mistakes and all.

One option you might try is to go to Bi- Weekly Payments, this way you collect on the same cycle as their paychecks.As long as both of your tenants still have their jobs, I would ride it out, the 2nd thing is how are they maintaining the property, are you going to have to spend thousands of dollars on repairs because of damage to the property.
