Thank you for the response! 

Quote from @Matthew Steele: Thank you I appreciate all your responses, yea I'm kinda leaning towards telling her he can't stay and telling her I'm not renewing her M2M lease, unfortunately in Nys if the tenant has lived there for 2+years they get 90 days notice, does this sound feasible?

I read Pamela's response in January 2025!

They have no credit history, so you have no idea how responsible they are financially.

Long-term buy-and-hold rentals in stable neighborhoods, prioritizing consistent cash flow and responsible management over rapid appreciation.

I will be going to the news if I don’t get a response.

Great response, Dennis!

That cost is for 17-18 piers - this was consistent between the 4 contractors we got bids form and we are waiting on a response from the engineer about how many he feels are necessary.  

But ultimately the responsibility lies in my hands.I jumped on a seesaw of risk hoping that the momentum would catapult my bank account into six figures only to find out the hard way that flipping houses isn’t as easy as I had predicted.This house was purchased for $64,000 with an expected rehab of $100k to $120k depending on how much work the dilapidated and neglected house needed.The midwest is lovely but the houses carry the weight of weather storms nearly a century old leading to more damage than a beginning investor could expect.The appraisal came in at $225k for my lender meaning our all-in cost would be around 85% of the sales price worst case.
