well thank you Crystal.

@Matthew JonesIf I had a crystal ball for repair costs, I wouldn't be asking for advice, I would just do the math. :)Let me rephrase my question then:My ideal exist strategy would be a cash out refinance, 200k evaluation with 25% down.

Obviously, you had to be a risk-taker, crystal-ball gazer, in it for the long haul, diversify your holdings, kind of investor.

Account Closed   no one can really crystal ball what would be best we can only talk about what we did or did not do.Every response above is reality... like 20% of agents make 80% owning a few brokerages I can tell you this is certainly true.As Micki states if you do get in the bizz ANSWER YOUR PHONE  that alone will help you succeed..

🤷‍♀️Sure, sometimes the cray-cray's crystal-clear. 

Sometimes a good tenant's life goes off the rails...it happens, and there's no crystal ball to predict it.

If you believe in what you are doing and you are crystal clear on the direction you want to go, then it is just a matter of taking that daily step.  

If I had a crystal ball when I was younger I would’ve purchased the first duplex I ever rented because I was offered that option.
