If you do decide to help them out and rent continues to be late simply have a talk wiht them and remind them that rent helps pay your bills and since you did them a solid ask for the same in return.  

I'd rather talk all day and then take a bullet

I'll ping you on the side to talk more.This property is located just outside of Lufkin on rt 59. 

At the numbers you are talking about and where the market is heading you could pick up some very high quality NNN national credit tenant properties as commercial continues to recover. 

They don't know what they are talking about.

I am talking in general, especially for investors successful enough to park a few hundred k not leveraged at those returns.  

Would Monday be a good day to talk? 

We've definitely talked about moving, but we aren't ready for that type of big move just yet. 

Quote from @Vanessa Lule: Hi all,I’m in talks with a landlord about leasing a property for $3,600/month, but that’s above my budget.

Rookie question here - when you are talking about multi-family, are you generally talking about larger commercial buildings or also including small (2-4) unit properties in this analysis?
