@Lee Bell I really appreciate your feedback!

I need to cover all my expenses and also get some profit margin.That is why I am in a landlord business.With the inflation at 30% (go to a gas station or a local store to learn by how much the power of your money decreased) I cannot raise by $100.I will be in a big fat negative.

Let's set up a meeting so I can share with you my needs and how I can also fill your pockets with fat commissions for finding me what I am looking for.Best,Don

Please update us when the fat lady's sung so we can learn all about the thrilling conclusion of this story.

It’s straight forward and low on frills, fat on solid, actionable advice and education.

If they ran a camera first and observed a broken, bellied, or root filled section, then I would be digging, but not before.What were the specific issues with the three year old toilets?

@Gina BellIs a rental a good thing to have in your portfolio?

There would be more than enough fat to pay the mortgage, pay a property manager slightly above market for the extra headache, put aside reserves for capex and taxes, and still generate at least a couple hundred bucks in cash flow. 

David & Katie:  Wow...thank you so much for all that no fat information and discription. 

Before you speak to people hoping to make a fat wad of money off you (a lender or a real estate agent), it would be a lot cheaper to buy a successful local real estate investor a nice sammich and listen to what he has to say as he's eating it.A sammich is a hell of a lot cheaper than an agent's commission on a single-family or interest on a six-figure loan.
