It's a shame because that encourages welfare dependency for the tenant and the landlord, but that's another conversation.

We had only one phone conversation but exchanged several emails since his calendar is book days in advance.Overall the process is moving slower than I anticipated.

But I feel like having an open, honest conversation with your tenant should help resolve the issue.

That's a fun conversation to have with a seller at the settlement table. 

We ended up using LimaOne Capital, they were very professional, closed on time (11 days) and all the numbers were accurate from initial conversation with them to closing.

Adam and Zach, Thanks so much for contributing to this conversation and giving everyone so much more to think about.

s via chat - absolutely no conversation.

I guess I could call him, but I feel like I need to do a little more research first in order to have a more informed conversation.

$300K should allow you to buy a duplex/2-unit and both doors should be offering a profit even at 15% down.If you are in a situation where you are getting hit with high taxes, high rate, low rents it might be a "Walk away deal".I have to have conversations daily talking people out of buying a particular home because its a bad deal.

The conversation sparked because I'm a licensed Realtor in Dallas Texas.
