Sounds like with are under charging our owners by thousands of dollars or they are trying to rip you off.

Networking with Canadians who’ve invested in the U.S. sounds like a great idea.

It sounds like you've had quite the journey in real estate, sorry to hear about the tough eviction experience though! 

Sounds like you are off to a great start!

I have absolutely nothing to sell.That sounds scary!

We realized the screws we were using were too small for the door hinge and we just had to finish that small bottom corner.1/26/25 - We went to Lowes and picked up some 1 1/2 inch door hinge screws (sound in the screw/nail section) and went back to the rental.

From what you’ve described, it sounds like you’re more focused on long-term appreciation and future benefits rather than immediate cash flow.

If the tenant is claiming to be living in a hotel, she may try to get you to reimburse for that cost unless section 8 has a new process to reimburse them for this... which sounds absurd but I'll let you deduce whether or not you're dealing with someone who is used to paying for things out of their own pocket. 

Being a Navy public affairs officer and moving often sounds like a unique challenge, but it also gives you the chance to explore and invest in different markets.

Ask an attorney for the cost breakdown, factor in holding costs, assume they'll do more damage on the way out and then ask for a bit more for the headache.But again, especially with no experience with evictions and it sounding like a mess, I would be very tempted to just walk if the tenant is not going to cooperate.
