Yeah, they hit Quest with an order (with which Quest was complying before being sold) – after Q had stepped back.

I let both of those properties just go for tax's I tired of the BS..

And now after a year, the utilities are eating up my income.

Quote from @Jacob Campbell: Hello - After listening to the podcast, I've made a commitment to purchase a rental property by the end of Q2 this year (ideally by the end of Q1).

Not to mention you need to have some liquidity left over after the deal closes in order to qualify for a loan. 

We had to bring the 1925 house to 2023 code which involved un-installing 26 windows that were already nicely installed (in appearance) in the house, reframing them to 2023 standards (at the time) which also involved strapping the bottom of the wood framing with metal straps (mind you this all after we had already completed the inside renovation).  

Then after a year or two, you can buy another one.

I do not look for or go after the leads because of ONE thing I keep on preaching.

I did receive an update shortly after posting here.

If you decide to sell and find an investment property with a greater cash flow potential.A 1031 exchange would allow you to indefinitely all of the tax and use it to your advantage to reinvest into larger nicer property/properties.
