Eventually, I’d like to purchase a single-family home as well.Thanks again for your valuable insights! 

If all you are doing is just sitting and waiting for tapes to come to you, you will eventually find some deals, but it will take a lot longer and you will have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find the princes. 

Eventually you'll start developing relationships with people in the market that will bring you off market deals, but they have to believe that you can close the deal.

We had planned on eventually redoing the kitchens and floors in both units once we turned over new tenants, but the evictions accelerated that process.

Inflation and the eventual rise in rents could provide significant cash flow advantages down the road.

When you move out you begin to experience POSITIVE CASH FLOW in which your tenants help you buy the property.....where eventually you own it out right, and now it becomes like a pension..........Predictable and Sustainable income for life.   

Though my property management company eventually took care of the eviction proceedings and repaired the property to prepare for a new tenant, I feel they were negligent in their duties.

BEST DECISION I EVER DID WAS MAKE MY WIFE MY BUSINESS PARTNER THIS YEAR FELT LIKE NEW BEGINNINGS LEAVING A OLD PARTNERSHIP AND STARTING A NEW ONE LITTLE  DID WE KNOW THIS FLIP WOULD BE THE WORSE THING WE DID THIS YEAR TALK ABOUT A HOUSE THAT WOULDN'T STOP SPITTING OUT PROBLEMS FROM SQUATTERS BREAKING IN , FROM THE CITY CONSTANTLY GIVING VIOLATIONS, WE EVENTUALLY TOOK A LOSS OVER 50K OUCH!!  

The way you present things I can see this occurring eventually.  

For the immediate time, I'd love any contractors and handymen suggestions, but eventually, to work with agents to buy and sell in the area.
