Having that vision is a great first step.

Can I see a list of loss runs for the past 5 years?

To me, the best thing you can do is find a buyer who is willing to buy them from you via a quit claim deed (even if it's at a loss) so that you can start over.

Yes, you lose the value add upswing, but you also reduce potential money loss and time loss.

But also working with them if there is a job loss or a roommate moves out.

Two are being forced to sell at a loss this month.

Sometimes before even asking a specific question, they will start rambling a rehearsed excuse story on their credit, previous landlord troubles, job losses, etc.

Our revenues have not dropped due to weather, but if we did get hit hard by a hurricane it could, rather would cause losses in rental revenue. 

We didn’t even get close to where we needed to be to be profitable and closed down after a large financial loss just 2 years later.

I had no goals like JD Martin starting out, I was just fed up with being miserly with my money and still broke. 5 years later owning $2.4m through 3 properties via the hojse hacking strategy with my spouse, I am starting to see the vision and path.I continue to flip flop on what my exact investing strategy will look like (do I continue in small multi which is going well or switch future purchases to note buying via the cash flow the properties kick off?)
