@Ibn Abney  my plans were based on being there, so now that my move is delayed I am kind of in a holding pattern.

Do this across a few club meetings and a few experienced investors and you should start to see patterns and different strategies, one of which may really appeal to you.

Get started with the eviction attorney when we hand over the 3 day notice.File for eviction at the end of 3 days.Learn from this- Never allow a roommate to be added that cannot qualify on their own and seems to have demonstrated a pattern of irresponsible financial behavior.I have a couple of questions:Is there anything different/unique about evicting one roommate after the other moves out?

You will sit in a holding pattern looking forever and never finding the "perfect" property to pull the trigger on.

The pattern goes like this: They're late but get it all paid by the 5th, 7th, 10th, whatever.

All played the fuzzy math game of almost paying on time, a few bounced checks here and there, a missed half month payment (since they couldn't quite pay in full each month, after a few months in the house), and my the favorite excuse: "I just switched jobs - first check arrives in two weeks"... after being behind for the past month.Unfortunately, I made my mistakes and had to learn from them, once I figured out the pattern.

However you used all of your money to buy properties A, B, C. if you refinance from property A and B, you will be able to get some cash to buy property (D), but property (A) and (B) will generate negative cash flow. it’s certain that appreciation of (D) will be pretty good just in a few years, following the historical pattern of the cycle.

If you still want to spend the extra cash to make it look updated then get newer laminate counters that have a better pattern.

For $10 or $12 for the 12inch by 12inch patterns they work great as backsplashes on the vanities.

Not sure if those were new construction buildings you saw but I saw a similar pattern while visiting a friend in Austin and I can assure they are not overbuilt...demand is much higher than supply there.
