The next logical step seems to be moving into the investment world.

@Michael Gansberg your logic makes sense, can you validate your assumption?  

My friend doesnt think the current tiles are all that bad...i guess im still an emotional landlord instead if a logic one.To those who read my panicking post, I am still looking for a tenant. 

I'm going to briefly  lay out where I currently am, in the process of my Real Estate Investing and Rental property journey,and wan to get other members/Investors advice as to if I should change or consider doing anyth...

I am here to learn everything that there is to learn about real estate  roi and common sense logic when choosing an investment.

From a logical standpoint, I would agree with you.

I'm not familiar with your state specific guidelines so I won't/can't comment on that.I know it seems unfair or biased somehow, but it does seem to have some basis in logic.

I can't tell you how many people ask me to diagnose them on the spot in the grocery store (if they haven't already diagnosed themselves via webMD lol).I'm sure everyone has heard the saying "Better to be thought an idiot then to open one's mouth and remove all doubt", well, when you make statements like you have in this post regarding 99.9% of Realtors being unethical you have removed all doubt.I don't take offense to you insulting a Realtor specifically, I'm annoyed by the ignorance it takes to make a blanket statement as you have done, it sets off alarm bells in my logical mind.Haven't you heard that 100% of all real estate investors are Scum Bags?  

My Name is William Duncan "Billy" from Cypress, TX and although I do not have any authentic REI experience, I have rented out the first two primary residence homes that I purchased just as a logical thing to do at the time.

The only logical way to approach this is from the perspective of financial analysis.
