Real estate investing is a pretty forgiving world and the average person can still make money even with some pretty big mistakes.Buckle in, keep your arms and legs in at all times, and enjoy the ride!

Our longest-term tenants have been riding the wave and sticking it out with us...rent started at $625/mo in '09 and last year they signed at $900/mo.

And do you need the capital back out or can you let it ride? 

So if I were them, I would be inclined to ride this loan out for 30 years as they're never going to find another deal like this.Which brings me to my question(s). 

If it is your intent to move back into the home in the future this is your best option to ride out your expenses in the future.

You can read every book on how to ride a bike, but you'll never figure it out until you give it a try.

Fast forward 15 years and I'm starting to realize there's more to this long crazy ride we call life. 

. ;-)   I'm just jealous because I think Amazon will clog up the hotels and the metro and I won't be able to find any Lime Bikes and Scooters to ride around Crystal City and Pentagon City.

Like Christopher said, just ride that situation out and save up more capital until you can combine the Capital with a HELOC and move on to your mext property.

You have to link up with a group that has a track record, build the relationship with that group, add value based on the group's needs, then you can ride that group's coattails.
