I dont have endless hours to devote to this nonsense nor at its heart do I really care if someone does or does not get it.

Matt Rosas - Maybe you make your money when you buy, however it's not always on the front end.If the property could be purchased using selling financing, the cash flow and terms can be structured in an almost endless number of ways, both to make the deal cash flow positively quickly and some great back end profits, without necessarily requiring appreciation.For example, a first trust deed for half the financing, whereby the payments don't start until a tenant is in place, and a second that doesn't require payments until the 1st is paid off, etc., etc. this is where it gets fun!

Ever since googling "What to do when your renter dies" and finding this site, it's been endless late nights perusing the posts and blogs.

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers...And no, my arm never gets tired from patting myself on the back as I endlessly convince myself of my innate superiority in all ways.

I mostly blame my naiveness in humanity and eagerness to get the project going.. here are many of the items (not all):All 3 HVAC units went out in the first 3 monthsBoth "high end" endless water heaters died within 6 monthsThe 1918  LEAD pipe entering the home burstSome lighting was found to be battery operated instead of electricUnfortunately a rock from DC water entered the piping which resulted in multiple cancelations and major repairsNo insulation between the upper and lower unit resulting in numerous noise complaintsPitch incorrect in back yard which results in floodingPlumbing piping incorrectly sized throughout homeAll gas lines removed and everything replaced with electric to pass city inspection easier (only house on the st without gas)Oh yeah, furnishing a two units that can sleep a total of 16 people is not easy nor cheap (especially with a puppy).

So if you're looking to move your business here there's just endless opportunity. 

Am afraid your lease was not descriptive enough and may have a tough time in court.Take this as a lessons learned and start working on improving your lease from the things you are seeing with current tenants and then wait it out if you can, which you seem to indicate you can do.Even with a very tight lease, I paid close to $3000 in evictions not to mention the heartache from tenants that I inherited on my first duplex purchase where I lived on one side and rented the other.I will never again inherit tenants.These ones moved in an extra person a year and a half in, despite lease saying not to, smoked marijuana and cigarettes in house despite lease saying not to and worse, I lived on property so they became very sneaky about how they broke their lease and these was just a nightmare.I hate evictions, but I equally hate bad tenants and tenants that I have not personally screened and that is why I refuse to take on tenants at property purchase.I also always, always do unit inspections.I just did one yesterday and glad I did, which I had initially decided I would not do, but nope, get in there and see how your property is being maintained.My fairly new tenant seems to have an issue with basic housekeeping.There was a smell in the unit, which I still cannot figure out what it is, but brought it to their attention and will be following up, he has a car that leaks oil endlessly on my newly resurfaced concrete driveway and garage flow, has a ring in toilet bowl that is also stained and smelling toilet from lack of cleaning.It pains me to see a unit that I took great care of when I lived in it to see what it is quickly turning into but I am nipping that in the butt right now.Dirty tenants can be a liability to any landlord, but overall tenants will try to test you and see just how vigilant you are and how much they can get away with.I also make notes on what I want to update on my next lease when I run into issues.Pets?

That is why is so hard to become millionare, all kind of bussines have endless obstacles to reach your goal.

I admitted it’s not right for me (at least up to this point), but I’m tired of reading the endless misinformation and bashing of a legitimate company that does good things.
