If you’re not able to hit those numbers (or come close), then I would encourage pulling out your cash and hunting for deals.

I was hoping to find some encouragement and some bold go getters with solutions and answers.

I currently have a single family home in Houston now that I just put on the market for renting and the difference between rent amount and mortgage is not encouraging and still looking for tenant s.

I would encourage you to speak to your mortgage broker, or, real estate agent - some loans require PMI, some do not.

I have a house in the desert that gets hot, so I think it simply need A/C since currently we are using portable evaporative coolers.

I also want to encourage as many others as possible to do the same and go on this ride with me!

@Adam L.Wow man, that sounds awesome and encouraging.

The association's policy does not cover flooding.In the lease, tenants acknowledged they are strongly encouraged to hold renters insurance that covers flood damage.The property itself would not sustain much damage even if it had 5 feet of flooding - $300 damage tops.However, I am concerned about the surrounding area making it unsafe for the tenants to travel into the unit.

Or even words of encouragement!

KREIA (and BP, of course) has been enormously beneficial to me and my real estate business and I would encourage anyone in our market to join this organization and get involved ASAP.
