I was a weak landlord on my first.

If that's their game plan, it's pretty weak as far as cons go, and not even very profitable--they'd be better off financially giving me my cut so that I can continue bringing deals to the table for the remainder of the two years.

My impression is even if the tenant does pay rent, they will be chronically behind, and they are also a problem tenant, so you want them out either way.

Leaving for a less expensive city would be giving into weakness.

If they did, everyone would be doing it and it wouldn't be all that radical or inspiring or profitable.Yes, you can kick a "weak" horse.

You take a weak-minded ignoramus's dreams of affluence, put a tiny price tag on them, and hand them a slip of paper that serves as a certificate of authenticity for their dreams.That's all you have to do to whore those fantasies out for $2 forever.

Class C is not for the weak of heart and there are issues to deal with but there are some wonderful tenants out there who will be with for ever if you take care of them. rav

I must admit this has been a weakness of mine!

Borrowing will help bridge the gap for a little while, but unless the loans are truly forgivable, it just kicks the can down the road and makes a weak balance sheet weaker.

Work with good people running solid operations, then think about the market you prefer to be in.A weak operator will ruin the best deals in the best markets, I now look more deeply into who I’m doing business with, rather than where.
