It's been quite a rollercoaster ride since taking over the property since last Friday!

Luckily there is a park and ride that the tenants use when it snows.  

Tenants can’t be trusted to actually perform quality work in a timely fashion .

I actually know of another landlord who lowered his deductible in similar fashion When his insurance agent asked why he wanted to lower it, he was honest and told him he was evicting the tenant and wanted protection just in case the tenant got mad and tried to kick any holes in the walls or burn the house down (extreme but unlikely, fortunately) as retaliation.

And don't forget the old fashioned yellow pages, now online with reviews and website links.The reason I say that is because Florida is such a transient state, you want someone who has been in business locally for years..otherwise you could easily get ripped off. 

I self manage the one in Arizona but I feel that’s easier because we will be moving stateside and I’ll only be a $600 plane ride away as opposed to Guam which would be about $2700 if I ever needed to comeback. ** the $475K is with closing cost and VA funding fee rolled into loanMarch 2019 Purchase TOTAL 475kMortgage payments $2874 ins&taxes included March 2021-owe 435kMarch 2021Sell 500kOwe 435Fees 40k (8%)Equals 25kMinus the difference I paid for 1 yr oop for $2500 Rent = 374 a month X 12 = $4488$2600 Rent = 274 a month X 12 = $3288Profit= $20,512-$21,712Would you buy a rental property and sell in 2 yrs even if you’ll be coming out of pocket or just keep renting?

Don't just sod out the lawn and build massive Trex decks with 2-way gas fireplaces. go with old fashion seed, small but cozy reclaimed decks and a trusty pellet stove ....

Some times I forget and then I take the ride but then pull because I don't like games.

Only, we did them in a combined fashion.  

If its very likely to reperform in some fashion or another, then I may be willing to accept a lower return for the foreclosure scenario since that less likely to happen.
