He doesn't do it often enough to justify a shock collar and carrying a remote all day.

There is tons of opportunity here but it's really important not get caught up in the fools gold many out of state investors get caught up in.

Usage of a credit card should not be over 1/3 of the line of credit and it's okay to carry the interest payments for a few months and pay only the monthly payment amount.

One tenant is moving out March 1, so i could give other one notice now they on month to month, or just have them be there for carrying costs.

If you know the market and if its desirable area that is like finding a pot of gold.
