I wound up taking it down.

Got bit by the construction bug working in a weatherization program in Detroit but wound working quite a few years in IT which was a blast.Currently searching for properties in the area whose numbers work out.

And because if someone wants to leave early there isn't to much you can do about it anyway when they use the security deposit as last months rent no matter how many times you have in the contract that they can't do that.I wound up with a non-rule following tenant, we a no cat policy, this was clearly communicated and the applicant even said,"I don't even like cats" but then she is cat-sitting all the time with the excuse she doesn't own the cat even though our lease says "NO OTHER ANIMALS FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME".

Performing mortgage funds wound be interesting, but I am limited with amount of capital for initial investment. 

Maybe I'm not correct in what the OP really wanted, but I think if this thread wound up getting a large amount of BP posters who actually answered my questions, we may find out that it's not about luck, but some common strategy or even personality trait.When I say personality trait, I am that hard working person who achieved $200k plus but didn't have a large student loan since i went to public university.

Meanwhile I am in contract on 11 SFRs and had serious talks that wound up falling through on 17 others (two portfolios).Perhaps a simile.  

I'll sell, lick my wounds and move on.

I've got two side by side 4 unit townhouses that wound up being very nice rentals in a neighborhood called Canton in Baltimore City that cash flow like a charm, because I could not get my For Sale number.

It was only then they found the bullet wound. 

I bought a kindle to start reading the BiggerPockets books and I was wounding what other books might be interesting to read.Thanks y'all
