For my part, i let the hot summer day passs and call in for a moisture cleaning for 640sqft on surface between the roof and cost me about 2700$ but  that was the only major concerne for a  1970 bungalow.i would pull the plug depending at your lvl  of repair skill 

Only time we allowed tenant to laps on rent for long period was one tenant had medical emergency and was in the hospital for nearly 3 months (obviously no rent). 

Think: slip and falls, tenant wipes out on an icy porch and tries to stick you with the medical bill, etc.

Shawn was easy to talk to and reviewed his skills and credentials of having 5 plus years experience within real estate with me.

Unless you are on the lenders approval list, it is just a way to practice your valuation skills.

For what you did yourself you have the amount of time and supply costs and set an hourly rate for yourself based on the skill set you are using.  

Hello Everyone, My name is Stephen and I am a recent medically retired veteran.

Early on, all cashflow went to the business to continue building and buying more... now it goes to medical bills and a stupidTooExpensive primary home... in a couple of years it will go into more investments.

Then tell them if they want to stay you need them all to complete an application and qualify and to sign either  year long lease or month to month agreement that will list all occupants and state no smoking of any kind (what out if they try to claim pot is medically required) and also require security deposit and last month rent (if you want to go there)Even if you self manage you need a good attorney to help with the eviction (at least the first one )

Greatly appreciate any resources or feedback you might have in how I can work on building my networking and conversation skills and just generally get outside  my comfort zone.
