Put in all your mortgages as recurring payments.

If you want to change your experience in real estate investing from one of anxiety, frustration and disappointment to working less and making more, you'll make the change.

They like having you as a landlord...not as a "friend" but as a landlord.If you fix maintenance problems quickly, give them payment options they want (credit card, auto recurring payments), you treat them with dignity, and you check in to see that they're getting what they want out of the property, they'll stay.

You are guaranteed to get some hostile responses at some point, and possibly put yourself in harms way from angry/desparate people.I would stick with a multi-pronged marketing approach (direct mail/postcards, recurring newspaper/pennysaver ads, signs, networking, etc.), and leave the door-knocking to the vaccuum salesmen.Get creative.

This property has a vacant lot attached to it (multifolio) which I figured on selling along with a stand alone 4/2 that is adjacent to it to get some of my capital back and then finance the rest of the buildings with that 10 year . so many moving parts though it gives me a little anxiety.

Is it a recurring cost?

If you are meeting and or exceeding expectations it is always worth having the discussion to be sure both parties are aligned and feel good about the working agreement on a recurring basis.

Landlord reserves the right to hire a recurring Professional Cleaning/Maid Service if Tenant(s) are not keeping the Premises in clean/sanitary order at Landlord’s own judgment.

I'm hoping that this does not become a recurring issue.

My nerves & anxiety has slowed our progress in the real estate market.
