Eats up time and money getting rid of a bad tenant (not to mention possible property damage). 

If they move soon, one month vacancy would eat away any savings of a hard "no" and it's wintertime (here) where vacancy is harder to fill...I'd at least discuss with the tenant and have someone do a bid to find out what it even costs for this home.

Wolves trying to eat the sheep. 

Now that I'm retired I "eat" some of the profits, but because I did this for so long while I was working my total leverage is about 25-30% with a bunch of properties free and clear.

P.S All the people buying popcorn I want you to know that it has a whole lot of carbohydrates in it so you might wanna be eating celery sticks and carrots instead. :-)

Otherwise, the DST fees eat up the tax Ruthie- Yes they are in control for when the property is sold.

Spread your eggs between multiple pockets rather than everything into one property that may or may not appreciate and cashflow as you forecasted.The only exception that rule would be in Austin, if you live there, or in Phoenix AZ just because the growth in the Phoenix metro is so strong and you can still cashflow there. 

I’m eating breakfast and adding thoughts as they pop in my head. 

Turnover costs always eat up profits.

The tenants have paid and if someone is thinking about moving out then an extra surcharge that hits if they aren't out in time for us to turn the place for a lucrative AirBNB short term rental can help massage the move out timing.That said with MTR we do not have the cleaning costs that eat up a lot of STR gross, and its lower hassle in some ways.
