I currently have ZERO real estate experience (Sales Engineer for my day job), but have been toying with the idea of eliminating my $900+/mo apartment rent expense and purchasing a duplex to live in half and rent out the other half.After some quick research this seems like no-brainer and I am almost ashamed that I didn't think of this sooner.

It's a shame, since it seems like renters use CL the most.

It would be a shame to go from being almost paid off to being underwater. 

The only "proof" I have regarding the damages is what the movers might recall, and would they even be willing to get involved in someone elses situation which is really just a pain in THEIR butt and not their problem.I was very ashamed and embarrassed to have left the landlord ANY damages, and was HAPPY to pay, as I do not want landlords to think that everyone who damages their property does not feel they should be held accountable.I absolutely am accountable, and am so sorry that this even happened, but now it's like I'm being taken advantage of, and I don't know why ANYONE OR JUDGE would beleive me, that yes my daughter DID do some damages BUT NOT others, it will just look like I am trying not to pay all that I should.

It is a shame to have to pay PMI with such a high equity percentage. 

Isn't it a shame that a school district would dominate the cost of homes that significantly?   

@Jerral Williams You don't have to be ashamed of your lack of money to start Real Estate Investing as this is a very common problem for 95% of new real estate investors. 

I didn't even want to bring this up my buyer I was so ashamed how this deal was turning out.

It's a shame some make excuses, delay and screw things up for the parties rather than just saying "No thanks" early on.

It’s a shame to tear down good walls, but might be the path of least resistance
