Bite the bullet and make the correct business decision instead of concentrating on carrying a weak tenant that places you in jeopardy. 

@Amanda SokolBuy some weedkiller glyphosate concentrate for $22 a gallon and a gallon sprayer for $10 and all your poison ivy problems go away in two years of consistently spraying it whenever it crops up.

I'm hoping to pay the first one off as soon as possible using income from my job in the film industry and then start concentrating on the next.In the meantime however I want to concentrate on finding plenty more deals like these that have positive cashflow that I can pour back into the original mortgage and get it out of the way as soon as possible, all the while increasing the rent over the years.Finding finance at this stage has been very easy as I have no mortgage on my own house, I simply take 20% of the purchase price out of my own overdraft for the down payment, then borrow the full purchase amount in order to pay back the overdraft.Despite wanting to go large, I think I'll try and use these two properties to iron out my full landlording systems so when I do have multiple properties it doesn't turn into a disaster.Anyway, plenty of questions over the coming times- acquisition, management, financing.

I would mainly concentrate on significantly increasing your monthly 'working' income (if possible), and potentially bump up your savings a bit so that you don't have to C.C. finance any personal/business emergencies. 

Last year I tried hiring a GC so I could concentrate on real estate.

I've owned 3 SFH rental properties, but I've sold them and have concentrated on flips now.

My approach is to jump into the REI side of the business however an uncertainty as to which area(s) of REI I should concentrate on according to the circumstances (salary, savings, etc) indicated in this post is what is holding me back.

I am most likely going to be moving into the multi family sector with a concentration in value add opportunities until I can move to 100+ unit complexes and retire early from my day job.

I am a part-time MBA student considering a Real Estate Evaluation and Analysis concentration and was looking for some pointers/advice.

What zip codes are you concentrating in?
