damn...scary.

Instead of extra mortgage payments, I only pay interest on the outstanding balance and I can make additional principal payments while still having instant access to the funds if needed.

If they paid 2 months of rent, I would record it as them paying July and August rent (September still being outstanding). 

After the upgrades, we successfully sold it for $212,000 on 8/8/2024, showcasing our ability to turn properties into high-value investments and deliver outstanding returns.

@Kyle Collette I would love for you to DM me as he has 2 large outstanding notes to me as well.

So not automatic at birth, but damn near close to it.  

C is blue collar areas where they are a decent amount of homeowners living there and people giving a damn and cut there grass.  1 thing newbies like to think is D is ideal for section 8. 

Would it make sense if the co-owner paid rent and then we split the difference on anything outstanding that doesn't cover the monthly mortgage (mortgage is 2k/month. he pays rent of 1k and then we split the remaining 1k 50/50)?

With that said, we have decided to buckle down and focus on paying off our outstanding debt and saving up cash for the down payment on our first rental unit.
