My tenant was hanging shelf and screwed into a water pipe.

Every single one of them is rented and he rarely has to pick one up because people tend to keep them forever.I just asked him last week if he's growing and he told me the cost of the containers has more than doubled so he's just hanging tight until the market settles down again.It's good money, but it still costs a pretty penny to get started with containers, moving truck, insurance, etc.

VA, unfortunately, and it's stupid, and I could rant about this because I think it's immoral and wrong, is somewhere around 5th place, above down payment assistance but below Conv 5% down, hanging out with the FHA bad credit buyers.

How long did you hang onto it? 

You're trying to cover every base here and deny the possibility of a vacancy, by hanging on to a future tenant that may not have an apartment, and not wanting to take a chance that the current tenant leaves when they find a house.

stay in touch with your people - the so called "database" aka. friends & colleagues from all walks of life; Build systems to follow up & provide excellent client service; Understand that some will work with others - and, that's ok; hang onto & be grateful to those, who are loyal; this is a MARATHON - best of luck!!!!

Read a lot, ask a lot of questions, hang around with people smarter than you that have done more than you, don't take advice from those who haven't, and save money like your life depended on it.

Hang in there, I feel the same way about my town in Vermont… As far as cash flow with little appreciation you are definitely not alone!

If there are six nail holes in a living room from hanging a few pictures, that would be "ordinary" and I wouldn't charge them.

We're interested in knowing if it would be worth hanging on to for at least a couple of years, or selling in the near-term.
