We wish you continued success in your investing endeavors and we hope to serve you in the future as the need arises.   

@Peter Neill First of all, that is an absolutely inspiring story and I want to say congrats and I best wishes for your continued success!

Quote from @John Busch: Truly appreciate the multiple responses and look forward to continuing our communication as we live in Southern CA and do not have many contacts in that part of the county. 

I will continue looking into the areas you mentioned and appreciate your insights.

Many banks securitize their loans (bundle them together) and sell the loans to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, while continuing to service the loans, that is collect your payment.

I can only speak to myself personally but I've continued to invest, knowing properties may not cash flow much but I've invested in value-add so focusing on appreciation.

I'd likely just agree to break the lease with a couple months of rent as a penalty rather than force these people to continue being tenants in my property....you never know what will happen to the condition of the property.

I strongly recommend that you set clear financial goals and maintain a continuous learning mindset.

People can't afford to buy so they continue renting (and stay longer!).

My goal is 25 doors in 5 years, my struggle right now is deciding to either go back to work and save up money to continue or come up with a way to leverage financing to stay afloat myself and stick with it, waking up everyday 100% dedicated to my real estate.
