As a newbie investor this is a horrible first experience.

Nothing was done because she’s a horrible tenant, it’s just a personal issue that requires me possessing the property.  

Thailand returns are horrible. 

Horrible landlord laws.

It's horrible here.

I am in the process of getting my GC license for Jeffco and while not a cake walk, it's not horrible.

Taxes are horrible basically everywhere in NNJ worth living in.Best of luck!

Personally, paying off your mortgage early is a horrible idea.

To be fair, in addition to buying all those houses over the last 3 years I also dealt with an eviction, $47.4K in capital expenses, insurance claims, building teams in my local markets, and all the other nonsense involved in this lovely industry.Anyway, I finally got around to putting together a complete general ledger and had the horrible realization that over the last two years (bank and credit card record limitation make it harder to go back farther)…….. between 2022 and 2023 I have been $17.5K cash flow negative on $171K expected rent !!!!!

Going into more debt is horrible advice, especially with current rates.The point of investing in real estate is primarily long term wealth, secondly cash flow.
