It’ll save you headaches later if she tries to escalate things.Document Everything: Take pictures, write down the history of your interactions etcOffer a Transition Plan: Just like my client, I’d recomend offering her a temporary storage option nearby, or even a small rent discount, to show you’re not trying to kick her out - just keeping the property safe and up to code.

My question is, do I just not touch the first property, use the cash flow to reinvest and pay down the mortgage or save up for a downpayment down the road OR do I pull cash out of the first property to buy the next property?

This can save months of headache in MA trying to evict 

My original plan was to save up for a year and buy my first home.

My wife and I were in analysis paralysis for sure, but then the academy dropped and we were sure we wanted to get into RE, but didn’t know how and this course was WAY cheaper than comps that ultimately just try and sell you a conference that just tries to sell you… on and on plus like you said, we got most of our money back and got to keep the material. 

@Jason Wray I actually already work with the Federal Savings bank and am currently refinancing one of my properties with you.

Instead you will cash flow right out of the gate and appreciation is faster in those states with TLC properties or adding things like an ADU, or Carriage home on a bigger lot.Most of my investors that live in CA purchase in those states listed above and in most cases its easy to introduce them to local Seasoned realtors Contractors, Handy Men/Women that can help them save money and feel secure about the distance from home to REI.

I want to save a little $ by not having to pay an agent over 25K in commission for a project like this.

This speaks volumes about the challenges Buyers are facing when it comes to saving enough cash to purchase a home.It’s a reminder that understanding what Buyers need most is key to creating deals that work for everyone.

Do you think it's better to start sooner with a cheaper property to get in, or potentially wait longer to save more?
