No, I highly doubt it.

@Rita Medeiros For you to prove that the mice are as a result of anything she is doing since she moved in would be impossible.

Getting out to the local meetups, in my opinion, is one of the most important things we all can do as investors. 

I personally do have experience with renovations, and being a landlord and have done a few flips some went well and some did not and I have learned some valuable lessons along the way.

I do it about once a quarter but last year I only went over 3 times all year.Getting a good cleaner is the key.

I can deduct the interest, but it gets added it B and C vs A?

If you split your attention, you may do both poorly.

I'm going to do some research on the meetups in the area and will check them out.

Then later on purchase homes with cash (single family homes), I would like to learn how to read the market and know where a state or city is thriving but also learn where it's not.

Do you know the area very well or have family/friends that live in the area?
