Has anyone on this thread with positive review from 4 years ago still using booking.com?

You’re in a solid position with this property, and it’s smart to weigh your options carefully.

There are markets today, even with high rates, that are cash flow positive and do have great appreciation. 

Do not place yourself into a position of needing to sell in a reduced value environment. 

thank you for all the feedback its helpful.

Here’s why Oklahoma might be a great market for you:Affordability: Properties in OKC and Tulsa are often under $200K and offer strong rent-to-price ratios.Landlord-Friendly: Simple tenant laws make managing rentals easier.Growing Economy: Job growth in energy, tech, and aerospace fuels rental demand.How to Evaluate Deals:Run the Numbers: Ensure positive cash flow, check cap rates (6–10%), and use tools like the BiggerPockets calculators.Find Deals: Network with local wholesalers or agents, and look for value-add opportunities in stable neighborhoods like Edmond (OKC) or Broken Arrow (Tulsa).Let me know if you’d like tips on analyzing properties or finding deals!

That means there is not really an effect on the debt to income ratio neither positive (income) or negative (loss) but rather simply making that payment  non issue. 

By letting the tenant know that while you hate what happened to her and the position it has put her in, you are not the right vehicle/organization to subsidize her. 

That can get you some money up front to continue to build your portfolio and it takes you out of being a landloard and puts you into the position of being the bank instead.
