They reported a window sill being taken off and it would appear someone broke in over the Christmas week.

Thank you in advance for helping me navigate this decision.Hi Portia, Love the goal for 2025, great way to kick off your investing journey!

@Jay Hinrichs are you sending that soil sample off to a lab for testing?

I have one tenant behind on rent because he was laid off recently.

Then you can take them off-site yourself so you have time until the next changeover or create another option for the cleaners that they go back and finish the sheets and store them so their changeovers will be easier as well.

Hey Jason - if it's a 1-4 unit, you would need to value it based off the sales comp approach (assuming the buyer is using debt financing).

If DOGE comes in and rips spending like an animal, we'll see some extreme pain. 

It depends on what the terms of your mortgage are.Pros-with no mortgage, you have higher cash flow.Cons-if you plan on buying more properties, you are better off saving the money for a down payment for your next place.The big questions are: can you get higher than 7% return if you invest that money elsewhere? 

Like if you find an off market deal from someone who knows you and trusts you.

I suppose in the end, it paid off in saving my life.Allow me to backtrack, back to the beginning, two years ago.
