Thanks Michael,I try and skip the STR rules by doing over 1 month, however if I had the option I would definitely fill gaps that way.

Was it painful when water heaters had to be replaced or tenants skipped in the middle of the night? 

Not only is she an amazing coach for real estate investors and a very good friend of mine, but she is also my conference buffer.If I don’t have someone to meet somewhere every morning, I may skip.

Also, they began to skip payments and eventually, they stopped paying altogether.

Also there isn't as much appreciation in the area, it takes longer to evict (MUCH longer), and they have lien-able water and gas - so if someone skips out on the bill, it's on me as the property owner.My point is, high taxes are just one consideration but not an end all be all.

Recently I've been trying to get into real estate by wholesaling so then I could get some experience but when I skip trace nobody will answer the phone!

@Vincent Paventa You may want to skip trace owners of rooming houses in your targeted area and call them directly, this would probably be your best source of sound advice.
