You don't need to make all your money on your first deal, but if you crash and burn on the first there will be no second deal!

I have not a burned house, no insurance, nobody wants to tell me anything, still under investigation, and the ENO insurance company hasn't called me back in to weeks.  

So maybe that's stacking savings, maybe paying down debt, improving FICO, or maybe it's raising capital, whatever, the details don't matter because there is 101 flavors out there, all that matters is what is your 1-Thing NOW, do that, THAT alone, with fanatical focus like a fat-boy on cake!

Quote from @Cassidy Burns: The very important question, is the property a property that you want to own for the foreseeable future? 

The tenant's not going to put door putty and paint on and end up in a coma or burn the house down.Let them do what they are going to do.

Pigs get fat and happy, hogs get slaughtered. 

They get no sympathy from me if they crash and burn.  

A SFH will be bad if it's vacant which means no money coming in and you have to burn money just keep keep the property. 

There is an old saying ( Pigs get fat.

If you are burning money each month then the question is really how bad is it for you.
