Racism is worse than it's ever been in my entire life time or my parents lifetime.

Furthermore, a big driver for me is to be able to care for both of my parents in their retirement, my auntie who recently lost her husband and help friends or strangers in need.Now I am looking to network and get more intimate with the market I am eyeing - and of course, continue to learn.- Oh, and I am a total nomad.

Friend of mine wanted to unload it for his parents.

They have helped my parents retire comfortably, paid my kids way through college and been a great way to store and build wealth.

Once my parents told me our tenants bathroom was nicer than their own I quit upgrading unless I had a complaint or there was a serious issue.

Section 8 HUD tenants are usually families, or the elderly, or single parents that need these vouchers and properties to survive, they're not going to risk their livelihood so recklessly.Furthermore, I do agree that owners will all too often invest pennies on the dollar into a property and expect it to suffice.

So I will let this little medium term motel keep chugging along as the forgotten child and circle back next year. 

(if I made $200k I would be taxes on 80k after taking the standard deduction and child tax credits, etc. 

I have one duplex and have been house hacking since I bought it, it's been 5 years plus I have this property and finally ready for a 2nd one, looking to see if I get another multi or a single family, any thoughts Side note I also need a bigger place since I have another child who now needs their own room.

Normally when the contractor disappears this means they are in jail for not paying child support.
