Some landlords even have emergency repair protocols that might’ve avoided the locksmith cost altogether.I’d recommend having a conversation with the tenant, maybe offering a compromise like splitting the cost, especially if the root cause isn't clear.

I talked with RES a few months ago, I had a good conversation with the owner I believe.

@Teahjsia FrazierTo build a portfolio and replace monthly income, consider strategies like leveraging your current home with a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), using FHA loans for low down payment, renting out your current home, using creative financing options like seller financing, private money lenders, or partnerships, building cash flow with smaller deals first, using the BRRRR strategy (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat), minimizing expenses and maximizing savings, and continuously educating yourself through books, podcasts, and networking groups.

This can lead to missed opportunities, especially when speed and flexibility are crucial.Personally, I’ve seen investors switch to creative or alternative financing options, like hard money loans, private lending, or even seller financing, to avoid some of these pitfalls.
