Quote from @Pankaj Malik: I’m just really surprised that the tenant is not taking the option to break the lease break with a $ number offered (1 month rent plus reasonable amount for parts of house he wasn’t able to use) that is within a couple thousand dollars of what he wanted anyway. 

A couple months ago there was a guest on the BP money pod that said something I really liked, "put your risk in your ROTH" and by that he meant that if you're going to invest in something riskier that has the potential to have large returns, put that in your ROTH account because you're only taxed on what goes IN to your ROTH, not what comes out.

And it doesn't seem to spoil the charm for couples on a romantic getaway.We've been able to raise the nightly rate 2-3x with better occupancy. 

Towards the end of the year I was down to my last couple of grand until I had finally seen the results of my prospecting throughout the year.

A couple of mine are in Mesa, one in Florence, and I just added one in Arizona City. 

I understand the risk it comes with if I have vacancies, but I do have a couples of months of mortgage saved to use in case I get stiffed.

The buyer finally reaches out to say that the bank is having a hard time seasoning a couple of the homes in their portfolio. 

I arrive in Portugal a couple of days ago.

Right after I closed on that one the insurance company demanded I make a couple thousand dollars of repairs.

Has anybody recommendations of cheap markets to buy rentals where we a young couple could peotentially live in vicinity to a good job market/bigger city?
