I have about 20 of them in a few rural communities in Texas with my worst just below 3% and my best currently 5%.  

I'm getting my property painted in order to rent it. I left this painter I got for a week to paint. When I came back to pay him The job was half finished. The trim was not done, not painted completely around the ceili...

I learned the hard way by purchasing a property when we were having one of the worst winters in Chicago history, stupid polar vortex lol, and that made things very hard for me.

That's the worst of it.

I think any type of owner financing or lease option is the worst path for my short term and long term goals so it's either sell to increase my capital to buy more rentals or keep as a rental but limit my ability to purchase more rentals slightly.

What would the worst case scenario cost to fix on a 2000 sq. ft. house, for instance?

The rent control is getting tougher in Oakland and are only going to get worst.

I’ve never died but regret has to be the worst of feelings to die with. accept your reality and get to work if you want it. 

Be prepared to handle emergency maintenance calls at the worst possible times (holidays, middle of the night, before the sun rises, etc.) 

@Sarah BuchananI have 5 units in the worst of neighborhoods here in Milwaukee.
