I ask to take a walk through and document the current condition as my agreement states they can not damage the property during this process. and of course don't give them anything until you have walked through verified they are out and have voluntarily handed over keys. 

@Christopher Johnson A couple of things that you should know: 1) We do not remove posts as a matter of course.

@Hank Bank BRRRR is probably want you want to do.Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refi, Repeat.Before you go all in and either find out you don't like being a landlord or you make costly mistakes, start with just the next one.You'll have some challenges with tapping the equity in the townhouse:1) What loan amount can you qualify with your credit & income?

Two, you'll have a much easier time obtaining a mortgage product if you have a track record of W2 income.In the meantime, continue implementing the strategies you mentioned: save religiously, build your credit, pay any existing debt owed, etc.

A cash-out refinance or home equity line of credit (HELOC) can be powerful tools to keep your momentum going.Focus on Stability:Look for investments in areas with strong job markets, population growth, and consistent rental demand.

In order to execute on any of the strategies from #2, you will want to a work/income history and decent credit scores.

Of course this all depends on YOU setting the base rate and all the knobs and triggers most appropriately.

Of course, the subdivision is surrounded by other subdivisions that are full of homes.

You need to build your credit.

Of course don't go there just looking for business, you go because you believe in whatever the group is doing.
