It's just far better to bring the loan current or pay it off or file for a "clean and honest" bankruptcy to stop the foreclosure.

.- Landlord costs skyrocketing:      - Insurance: +30% (thanks, climate change)     - Utilities: +30%     - Property taxes, materials, maintenance all up     - Even lawn care and cleaning services cost moreThe article argues these costs are being passed to tenants, not just padding profits.

But if the property is clean and well-kept—even if it’s nothing fancy—people are more likely to respect and take care of it.

A typical turnover can be a month or 2 of vacancy and $2-10k in make-ready costs (cleaning, paint, flooring, appliances, towel racks, vanities, etc. that gets beat up and broken norma wear and tear). 

Turns out there's a way to be that without risking your livelihood.I took a chance on VestRight because what I saw was a ground floor opportunity - a space that isn't flooded with an insane amount of competition.

Not exactly sure where to look for this and have done some googling and asking around but don't have a clear answer for how folks have managed keeping the books clean and everything paid on time in a simple manner!

Perhaps not, but if I owned a duplex and moved someone in on the top floor for a $3000 security deposit based on their previous history, and the bottom floor for $2000, and they speak to each other...why even take the risk?

As long as it was clean and in good shape it was going to move.

Quote from @V.G Jason: Quote from @Chris Seveney: @V.G JasonI saw today that 30% of jobs now in this country are federal government or government contractorsWe cannot live off trillions of dollar deficits every year - employment is actually negative this year without the government.People lose jobs = cannot pay homes = homes get sold at discount = reset appraisals / lending… You're not wrong, just the sold at discount part I think the floor is going to be higher than people think.

For example I had my GC purchase paint, countertops, and flooring using his connections who worked at those locations to get a discount.
