We managed to bring the property down in price, overcome objections, and navigate the eviction battle, and in the end, it paid off.The key takeaway here is that if you’re a true cash buyer who can work with private lenders, you can survive long, drawn-out processes like this.

To survive, you have to know that is a business however, not a job.

You need that calm demeanor to survive. 

Quote from @Tiarnan Gormley: Quote from @Theresa Harris: First question is do you qualify for a mortgage? 

Quote from @Theresa Harris: For late payments, how late are they? 

I have warned countless people that the "new", "Cheapest", and "shaking up the insurance market" carriers typically come into the market under priced, have a wave of claims, then they either jack up premiums to survive or fire their staff to keep heads above water.

@Joe Villeneuve @Theresa Harris, thanks a lot for taking the time and provide some info/ideas/suggestionsTo give you some color for these properties, there is a 15 years-plan that my wife and I are planning to have arround 5 to 7 properties in the same $$$ range (-+ $200K) that we can rent them around $1600-$1800I believe after 10 yrs, I am expecting to a better cash flow considering some loans will be paid in full, but maybe the next properties will have as you suggest 30 year-loan.
