And that mistake came back to cost me tens of thousands in lost rent and damaged houses.

Fortunately in RVA and the surrounding areas there a lot of great opportunities if you would like to talk!

I don’t have any debt besides my mortgage fortunately or unfortunately however you look at it, and I’m not opposed to using my extra funds to buy down my mortgage but I’m afraid it won’t lower my DTI quite enough.

Didn’t have that words, knowing the situation, lost my game face in that moment and I knew it. 

When I was starting, I focused on building my network, attending networking events, and was fortunate to find a mentor.

And all the folks that could never get a deal to close and lost their deposit to them and EM etc etc..

I just lost $10,000 in earnest money, will be sued for the sellers agent's commission, and my agent doesn't get a dime.

This year I have yet to close a deal and have lost a few deals over 10K. 

So sad to hear that all the time and money you or your clients invested and the trust you had for Delta Build were lost, in addition to the lost opportunity to otherwise make money.

Cash for keys, screening, and lease enforcement seem crucial, no doubt.I’m curious, though—I've been in rooms with pretty successful multifamily operators, and many of them actually frown upon eviction because of the cost, lost rent, turnover expenses, and time.
