I do not have 5 layers of management that make my rates higher, no lender I work with pays for my office space, licensing, benefits, marketing department, compliance department.... 

I would love to meet any real players in the area who would love to pay it forward and help someone green like myself.

I know you want to go full time and jump in, but I'd recommend staying with your day job as long as you can - it makes your life a lot more comfortable to have a steady stream of income to pay the bills every month!

I also have a mortgage on this property paying $683 a month.Now I'm deciding should I continue waiting for a possible tenant or should I just sell the property.

We also see a lot of ground up projects in HCOL areas that do particularly well. 

Suggesting to them buying their house for a wholesale range offer or lower dependent on the extent of the rehab, then having a contract in place that gives them a percentage of the profit to help get them back on their feet, paying off debts etc.

There were lease violations disrespecting the other neighbor's leased space and harassing the other neighbor and they smoked in the property against lease, lied about conversations, has made up stories about plumbing issues that plumbers couldn't find causes to, tried to get a dehumidifier and force me to pay, accused me on two different occasions very agressively in regards to the heat/electric service.

I’m not sure where to go from here or what, if any recourse can be made to recoup my money.My take is you get what you pay for & low interest is not worth the crap we had to ho thru and in the end, they didn’t come thru but will brag how they close hundreds of deals a month.well, they didn’t close this one!

@Chinku Chinku how is paying the loan balance down going to help you reach your goals?

Without new companies creating similar-paying replacement jobs, workers may have to settle for lower-paying service sector positions.
