So far the payments are coming on time with only eight more to go and fingers crossed they can return my principal later this year.

did not realize the street value had dropped so much..but hey I grew up in the bay area in the 60's and we had $10.00 lids 3 or 4 fingers.:)

I just do a very thorough screening process and pick really great tenants (fingers crossed every time).

I'm crossing my fingers that it will be eradicated after this one.

Live for free, have that $40k in the bank (with my finger on the trigger), and save up a good bit of my commission income.I'd like to know people's opinions on this.

I make business decisions not personal decisions when dealing with lease violations.I suggest you simply cross your fingers and hope there are no problems because you are not getting any more rent.

Hey @June Veenstra , I am interested in talking with other investors as well, I will be picking up my first multifamily property at the end of the month (fingers crossed nothing goes wrong), and I would love to participate if you do set something up! 

But that Jay fellow ALWAYS follows that up with a stern warning that these properties are a contact sport, best handled by local operators who have their fingers on the pulse of their units at all times. 

They can really help guide you.My next project will definitely not be in the same town (crossing my fingers).

Keep all utilities, cable, HOA, in your name only and title of property.Either you put a ring on this girls finger.. or she'll end up ringing your neck down the road..There is no fair way of splitting expenses,, your gaining equity on property,,, and have tax write off's she won't.. so keep that in mind.
