Moral of the story and my personal take away from doing it, budget well and don't spend your money on liabilities (primary home)  and buy assets (rental property)..... 

Short story, landlords tend to run away from QB, not towards it.You might give other software designed for landlords a try before moving back to QB. 

I also appreciate you sharing your story.

I’m grinding to get my first deal and seeing your story gets me hyped!

I hadn't read the Baltimore story before...wow.Hi Sathiya, some thoughts: - attend in person meet ups in the Boston area to talk to other investors who buy locally and out of state to get their feedback and maybe consider looking within a 2 to 3 hour drive. - cash flow is difficult now with long term rentals even if you pick markets that have lower purchase prices than Boston.

Funny story is my ex wife's mother went to grammar and high school with OJ.

Just because someone claims something doesn’t mean it (1) is the complete story (2) they participated in it or participated to the extent claimed (3) had the outcome they claimed and/or (4) happened at all.   

I've heard more than a few horror stories about people who lost everything doing just that. 

A tenant complaining online might indicate that the property manager handled them appropriately, so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.7.

To close the loop on this story, we hired Rick Dempsey (who was fantastic by the way, highly recommended if anyone needs a MA-base SE...Matt Kelly, we really appreciate that referral!).
