Welcome to the site @Wen LeiVery unfortunate that you have to incur the eviction cost as well as this $1,400 cost from what I assume to be a "professional tenant" However it is something you just need to bite the bullet on.

Bite the bullet and continue with the purchase?

I'm currently searching and as soon as I find the right deal I'm comfortable with, I'm going to bite the bullet.

HH’ing is a pretty bullet proof strategy, particularly for your first investment... you’re going to get a sub 4.5% int rt for 30 years!!

. - One extreme direction is warzone investing, crazy cap rates and max cashflow, for dirt cheap homes, but you need that cashflow to patch the bullet holes and pay for all the evictions. - Then there's the middle, where most REI activity is done.

I too make my places nicer and when they are empty fix things correctly so they the property is as bullet proof as possible.

Hey good luck with everything man.My $0.02...The water issue is one all of us fret over, but you're probably just gonna end up biting the bullet.

I finally just had enough courage to bite the bullet, and get after it, and I'm so happy I did.

Or have to bite the bullet and do it myself.
