We just hit it off with all our similarities.

Just remember there are less people that can afford the 1 million dollar plus houses than can afford the $300 to $400 thousand dollar houses .

Too many landlords bee-bop along thinking real estate investing is easy . . . then they get hit with a problem (or 20) and their world is turned upside-down because they don't know what to do.Read my book.

They warned me I'd take a hit on the algo.

hi all i am a new landlord and got my first rental property. tenants moved in in September and October. the first month was fine but when December hit it got extremely cold and the heating is electric. due to poor insulation in the home that we did not know about the heat has to be turned very high up to keep the home warm, however since everything is electric it is causing the electric bill to be $800. the utilities are the tenants responsibility. however because of this one of the tenants has been extremely non compliant with paying rent.

All businesses can hit speed bumps during any growth period. 

You’re likely not hitting 500 hours (one of the tests) so you’re relying on the 100+ hour and more than anyone else’s time or substantially all the time in the activity.

Loan to value ratio: The higher the loan to value ratio (LTV) is, pricing takes a hit.

Could work, but remember people that need hard money usually need it for a reason.

@Ryan Fox - It's pretty unpredictable in my opinion, but I'm sure there are people way smarter than me that can better see/predict what's coming down the pike.
