The videos of how extensive the damage is heart breaking.

The owner had been living in these conditions for a long time due to mental health issues.It was heartbreaking to see.We agreed on a price and closed very quickly to provide relief.

Whatever niche you plan to go into, there is work to do, money to be spent, money to be made, heartaches, headaches, heartbreaks.

Very heartbreaking. 

@Femi Ibrahim First, thank you so much for sharing this heart-breaking honest story with us all. 

When the cat leaves, the mice will play".Most folks that invest out of state are cat's that are never present.So the realtors, contractors and property manager (The mice), are always playing and making a fortune doing so.You really need to spend a lot of time in establishing the right relationships in order to make it work from afar.Picking a market, visiting it regularly and immersing yourself in it non stop.Having family can also help but I decided a long time ago to not mix business with family and friends as it can get heart breaking when things don't turn out well.Wishing you much success

They are heartbreaking because he can be so generous and thoughtful and a hell of a lot of fun.

Note to self:  never rent your newly renovated family home to tenants...it's too much of a risk and too heart-breaking. 

My heart breaks for those who have not done their due diligence regarding verifying their "so-called" lenders and have lost their hard-earned funds.

Always hard to hear the heartbreak/horror stories of STR investors being on the wrong side of regulations/permitting and/or getting the rug pulled on them.
