Rental properties require ongoing maintenance and tenant management, while flipping houses is a more project-based approach.Investment goals: What are your long-term goals for real estate investing?

The company I use has patched the issue since then, but security is ongoing, of course.

I am a little apprehensive on going into two properties right away.

It's easy to obtain, costs very little, and doesn't require extra, on-going effort to maintain.

You could have stopped this train wreck before it ever left the station.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Keith Wilson: Any feed back is welcome  Have not taken the course but BRRR is basically dead right now due to interest rate environment - so if you take it I am not sure you can implement any training you learn at this time.  

I acknowledged his concerns but was unable to resolve the issue.Since the tenant moved in, I have experienced escalating issues with his behavior, including:Lease Violations:Moving items without permission (furniture, safe, carpet cleaner, TV from his room to another tenant's room).Accumulating boxes in the garage, potentially exceeding the agreed-upon storage space.Installing a security camera in the common living area, which is a direct violation of the lease agreement.Failure to submit a work order for alleged issues with the smart lock, as required by the lease agreement.Behavioral Issues:Aggressive and confrontational communication.Unfounded accusations and personal attacks.Refusal to communicate through agreed-upon channels.Loud and disruptive late-night behavior (banging on the door, kicking the door) due to alleged difficulties with the smart lock, often accompanied by profanity.Harassment of my son, the designated on-site property manager, by making disparaging remarks about me and refusing to cooperate with him.Potential for Neighborhood Disruption: The tenant's late-night outbursts have the potential to disturb neighbors, although no formal complaints have been received.Unreasonable Demands: The tenant unreasonably demands advance notice of my access to the property for storage purposes, despite the prior agreement and my right to access common areas and my own storage spaces.Safety Concerns:While the tenant has not directly threatened us, his actions, including the harassment of my son, have created a concerning and unsafe environment for my son and me.Goal:My ultimate goal at this point is to evict the tenant due to his ongoing lease violations, concerning behavior, the harassment of my son, and the potential for neighborhood disruption.Questions:1. 

Yes, they would have to pay it back over the next 12 months from their ongoing income at the rate of almost $1,000 per month, but they would have already avoided tens of thousands of dollars in interest and years of time from their mortgage, correct? 

Long-Term HoldsFlipping and long-term holds can complement each other beautifully:Flipping generates active income that you can reinvest into cash-flowing properties or other assets.Long-term rentals build wealth over time, thanks to appreciation, loan paydown, and potential tax advantages like depreciation.Flipping alone isn't necessarily a sustainable retirement strategy because it requires ongoing work.
