Either way its so refreshing to hear this work for others in this forum as opposed to people saying they are savages and need to be treated like animals.

Renting where you live and owning elsewhere may not be traditional, but it makes more intuitive sense to cash flow 10k a year off of a 500k investment oppose to racking up a 3k/month liability off of a 500k investment (primary home). 2.

If you believed the place was abandoned that might have needed to be part of your filing with the court if you wanted to use that as a reason to grant possession as opposed to just nonpayment. 4.

It’s a negative, limiting stance, completely opposed to the spirit of real estate investing.

The right of first refusal, while I do not oppose that in general, was set up in a way that will cause landlords to vacate their buildings before listing to avoid having to go through the uncertainty and months of limbo with tenants. 

Furthermore  once the 1031 intermediary get their cut and you also pay two sets of closing costs ( buyers now have to pay closing costs in some states ) as opposed to just one closing cost ( if not doing the 1031) it might be a “half a dozen vs 6 of the other “ scenario .Also one of the turn offs to the 1031 exchange is the interest rate will be much higher with todays rates especially since we would have to get an investment property loan which are higher than “ primary residence “ loans ..Will probably lower the rent asap ( have one more showing ) and then put it on the market .Thanks for the great advice Christian 

I'm not opposed to a lump sum payment, however it's usually only one of the roommates that wants to do so.We constantly reiterate that the entire house/apartment is being rented together so there's not a lot of upside for them to pay a percentage of the rent early.

I'm not opposed to revisiting this topic. 

This year I am wrapping up my final value add project, and will pretty much go into a more passive wealth maintenance/preservation mode, as opposed to wealth creation.

I'm not opposed to investing in Ashland, but Huntington would be my first choice due to the population, demand, growth, college, affordability, and the list goes on and on.
