Over time, as rents rise the property could become even more profitable.

Secondly, how many doors are you managing?

The first warning I always do written (via email), second warning is an official letter on their door saying they're violating their lease to allow other residents the right of enjoyment (if you put this in your lease).

How many doors do you need to hit your target?  

It took me 11 years, 25 properties, and 76 doors just to replace my income.

The PM called her and said, "It's going to be $800 to replace the garage door opener.

My buddy Mike, for instance, found his first investment property through a tip from a local barista and talk about being at the right place at the right time.Regarding your credit score, while higher scores can open more doors, I've seen folks make strides with scores in the mid-600s.

The original post leaves the door open for a challenge by the IRS, so the safe harbor of holding it for investment for two full years is the safer option.  

The real estate market has shifted dramatically in recent years rising interest rates, evolving buyer and seller expectations, and fluctuating property values are keeping all of us on our toes.

@Alison EvansI could not imagine managing 48 doors!
