A lot of people also go to college to hit the pause button on life so they can avoid the uncomfortable decision of taking on more responsibility.

I tried moving her to Tampa/clearwater (closer to me), but she is familiar with her routine down there, her friends, etc.

I routinely spend less than an hour a month dealing with anything with my SFH, duplex, or 10-unit...meanwhile my larger property took a lot of effort and time before we offloaded it.

I ultimately decided to retract my offer because I would feel uncomfortable with such a short window to perform any inspections.

But as with many smaller banks, it is good to work with more than one since there will come a time that they will start to feel uncomfortable with your have to many loans in their Port Folio. 

This might be an uncomfortable period of renting for you

@Vic Hartounian I typically advise folks to leverage unless they are so uncomfortable with debt that it would be more stress than its worth.

As long as your state allows it, I’d state that it’s 2-months due (since that’s what your lease says) but include in the letter that since you feel uncomfortable in the property, you’ll consider everything paid and balanced with just the 1-month.

Does anyone have a routine they do before entering a vacant house?

Part of me wants to stay safe and not continue on but the other part says push on and get uncomfortable!
