.$14000 in savingsThis year im trying to get a loan of course so im on track to finish the year at 30k without straining. 

I can come up with the cash, but it will be an enormous strain, leaving me with no reserves if there is a problem with one of my other properties.

It loosely appears that these financial strains are affecting divorce rates and we see the tenant applications for these types of renters come together in waves). 

I assume that these people are occasionally shopping around and I want deals, but also don't want a seller to hear my number and just dismiss me completely because someone else is able to tighten up their numbers you know?  

However, i then designed & built a bank building on the front of this property at a major intersection in town, with a 10 year lease with two 5 year options (I have is also triple net lease)Now of course the partnership is strained because my father-in-law & I have been at odds for a few years.

Perhaps they moved the unit or unhooked lines but didn't tighten them enough, etc. 

But I was very naive and didn't appreciateThe strain that landlording would put on my relationships and budget.

My market is continuing to tighten, so I may have to get better at this.Paul Thompson, who was a BP podcast guest a while back has a 3 offer letter he sends out.

Evictions don't help us as landlords because we're forced to turnover units at a cost...when considering deferring the marginal non-payment of a tenant...you're saying you would rather come out of pocket $5,000 to turn over a unit than let $50/month go on non-paid rent...that's just silly...and its not principal its math.If you have dealt with a 1,000 section 8 folks and your knee jerk is to evict you should tighten up your screening process. 

LA is maxed out on affordability and buyers and renters are feeling the strain, can it go higher it seems so rents just keep going up like crazy but sales are slowing and prices will too.Do you want to be a long distance landlordDo you want the freedom to take cash off the table and wait for a dealKeep us posted
