Difficult to manage, consistent late, professional tenants, longer vacancies and evictions are all too common.

But I just see them as the most fragile form of income, particularly if your goal is to build consistent and stable long term revenue and wealth as an investor.

So I think I can try to keep something consistent RE wise going forward.Right now I don't have much of an interest in seeking the attention of strangers for investing, but I may in the future.  

And  the agent consistently processed tenants below my acceptance policy.

I am able to consistently pay down the HELOC using my personal paychecks and some early rental income, and I am making progress, though there is a good balance currently.I'm thinking about changing these all to fixed 30 year mortgages.

Must have references that are positive, employer that is positive (or verifiable consistent income), 1st last and security, and complete background and credit check. 

Not sure if I'm just looking to vent or if there's even a question here....Last 2 years my agent and I have been consistently searching the mls and zillow for deals while I work on networking and educating myself on finding off market deals.I finished my first flip over the summer and it closed in August.

Plenty of great opportunity outside AVL city limits and people still consistently book outside city limits.Homestays, in my experience and from those who discuss them with me, are difficult to aquire at this point.

Some of the restrictions that I found out is that you need to work in the same company or at least proof of consistent work history for at least 2 years (correct me if I'm wrong).

@ron Masters Consistency and what are you doing that everyone else is not doing.
