Talking about poor children and the such is just designed to make me feel bad.

Providing relocation assistance to tenants, for example, if I want to sell the property or move back in - this can range from one month's rent to thousands of dollars (e.g tenant has a disability, minor children, elderly it will cost you more), depending on the city.

I understand it was (allegedly) caused by a kid, but parents must take responsibility for their children's actions.

Maintenance is one of the biggest challenges, maybe even #1, in the Property Management industry.Seems maintenance is, Never Fast Enough for Tenants, or Cheap Enough for Owners!

That shows real estate can be possible for anyone; in my opinion, I know everyone has unique and challenging situations, but in principle, anyone who can follow some basic budget fundamentals can save up enough for a down payment.Grateful BiggerPockets continues to bring more people into the industry!

That said, its a great opportunity for the investor willing to accept the challenge.
