For a good tenant that has paid on time and was keeping the place in good clean condition I probably would have just eaten the charge.

The experience was really bad as I was getting 1-2 year old leads to cold call that I knew had a 0% success rate and I do much better generating leads organically on my own.

The payment on the refi would be about 40% of renting a place while looking for the next property.Thanks for listening. 

Yes BP is the right place.

Quote from @Aristotle Kumpis: Phoenix, San Antonio, Charlotte, Jacksonville are places I like more.

I am doing my best to accommodate and fix the insulation as well as see if there are programs in place to lower the cost. however i want to be firm with tenant as they are not compliant with paying rent because of the cost of the utilities.

I would suggest not giving it up and place your license with a different brokerage. 

Put $10-20k into the place and create $40-50k of value and then refinance or sell.

With experience, they have the right systems in place and know what doesn't work. 

Purchase price: $187,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Sale price: $259,000 I got tired of moving place to place and worrying about finding roommate, security deposits and not having enough money to deal with maintaining someone elses home.
