One of the best choices I made. 

Would that be a good choice of major for that field or would economics or finance or something be better?

Hey @Ryan Swift, glad to have you here!

Success is a process, failure is a choice

General consensus is that Ryan Homes construction is shoddy, focusing mainly on townhomes.

There are plenty of other issues like hiring the wrong contractor, zoning/permit issues, helping buyers qualify, poor design choices, etc., but the bulk fall somewhere within those three buckets. 

"Hey its Ryan, i got a smoking deal, ill give you it for 20-30% w/e the number, can you help me out"?

The tenant is less likely to leave because they are still getting a good deal and you will be getting a little more money in your pocket every month to update the unit etc. then once you have the unit looking the way you want it I would go back to the tenant and tell them you are bringing the rates up to FMV and let them make their own choice.

I'm not as experienced in real estate investments as a LOT of folks here...but we've made safe/wise choices (so far)...and have been doing ok...we're building an "Ohana" on our property for another rental as well...with another one planned for down the road.
