Two wage earners are going to have an easier time making rent than a family where there is only one paycheck, depending on how high such paychecks are, and in both cases you would look at the total household income.Stick to your guns on what you said you wanted, but when you are not in the heat of the situation reevaluate your standards to make sure they are still serving you well. 

I serve on the board of our local REIA (Central Florida Realty Investors, CFRI) and this would be a great place for you to network with other local investors.

@Khadijah CelestineIn theory you probably could wholesale to an entity that you own, but it wouldn't serve any purpose other than to create a lot of extra/unnecessary paperwork.  

The discipline and precision you've honed in sports will surely serve you well in your new venture.It sounds like you’re already making great strides with your rental and flipping projects in St.

Do not renew their lease, and if they dont pay, serve them notice...There might be no reason for the resistance besides being incredibly difficult people who will take all your energy from you. 

Some cash flow amazingly, and some lose money every month, but they all serve a purpose.As some have said, if you buy a Duplex your monthly payment after taking in rent from the other side will likely be close to what you are currently paying.

We got an update today on water.  3 plants serve Asheville, they're working on all 3, South Asheville has water, the other two that serve the remainder (downtown included) will take longer.  

I serve on the board of CFRI, the local chapter of the National REIA in Olrando.

Am I allowed to contact their agency to notify them of this, or serve the 5 day notice to them at work in order to try and get them to pay?

I might suggest renting a car, if my memory serves me correct they are all 1-2hrs outside of Cancun.
