I don’t want them to move back in over night..I would have to start everything from scratch, regular eviction, etc. yes they broke in, yes they changed the locks ..so what ..this is their house for the last 10 yrs and police would probably see that as a civil matter at best. what brake in .."

I understand good vs bad, but I've wondered lately if I might need to tap the brakes for a bit.

I sometimes run things pretty close to the line when I find a good deal or 2, but sometimes apply the brakes for a year or so when I get top heavy in my line of credit. 

The pandemic had me pumping the brakes for a moment, but will likely be signing up this month.

If you ever want to cuss like a sailor and brake your flat screen TV from throwing a fastball through it at the characters in the movie, then this is a must see!

Also while inflation may seem to help, If you can brake even after 5 years then you have lost a lot of money in "Inflation Adjusted" dollars.

We replaced the microwave because it stated on the lease only because it was old but when we put in a new one we revised the lease and had them sign it that if this microwave breaks THEY will need to replace it, guess what it never broke.We replaced celing fan and sliding door we deducted from their deposit.We never include washer and dryer they need to bring there own.When appliances are broken by tenants we do replace with semi used ones and have them sign a revised lease that they agree to replace if they brake it.

It's a feature that allows tenants to brake their monthly payment into 2-4 smaller payments over the month, while the landlord is still getting paid on the rent due date, no changes.

It's a multi step plan and each step of the way it is massaging my credit profile so I just want to be smart about it without dragging everything out too much because I dont want to cut too deep into my credit or DTI because that really pumps the brakes on the next step.

Sounds like I should pump the brakes on this one and not do business with family.
