Waiting with bated breath on the eviction processes. 

Nearly $700k, from $50k, leaves a hell of a lot of breathing room for a stove or washer ever so odd often. 

Deep breath.

@Jeff Young I’m sure you breathed a sigh of relief hitting the post button!!

The $140k Investment in the year 2000 did contribute towards other investments.However there were other contributing factors, especially by partnering up with a friend and at the time, which was before the Financial Crisis, you were able to get Mortgages just by breathing.So I breathed a lot!

It’s a breathe of fresh air to speak to someone that will understand my situation in this area and I really value your opinion.

@Raeshelle Cooke Well sounds like you have a lot of time to build up your reserves before you make your first investment anyway, so breath easy and take the time to learn.  

I am breathing a bit easier now. 

Your ROI will drop with a higher down Payment, but you will have a little more breathing room between your rental income and your bills. 

Simply getting rid of that payment would be nice and a huge breath of fresh air.Buying two properties for cash would bring in enough cash flow to cover my primary mortgage payment.Buying 5 properties via financing is obviously the most "long term" wealth building option, but also comes with more risk.I understand most of the pros and cons of each option but I would love some more opinions of these options.Thanks in advance!
