I’ve heard lots of advice to leave these tenants where they are and ride out their agreements.

, do you find it easier to rent per room or level vs to a family, how do you set your rents to manage risk (do you stick to 1 year leases, or 6 months and then just ride on a month to month in case if someone turns out to be a dud, etc.....and I've never tried STR in the NOVA area.

I’ll just let the property ride.”

It doesn't make it any less distressing, and I imagine you are on the same ride. 80% pissed off and trying to find out where this a hole lives now and 20% terrified about losing and making payments to someone for the rest of your life.My case dragged on for a year and a half, maybe three until it settled a few days before an actual court appearance for what the insurance company originally offered the plaintiff.

There are also RE investors who are new or relative new to RE investment who do not have a lot of money; people for whom the decision to invest in RE is a MAJOR life decision with major ramifications riding on whether or not they succeed or fail.After you hang out in these forums long enough, you'll be able to figure out which poster belongs to which group. 

That must have been one wild ride!  

My thought process is that once the light rail is operational, very close by, I can turn it into an airBNB and have a nice little place just a few minute ride from all of downtown's attractions. 

It’s a fun ride.

They have monthly meetings in Cromwell, Ct.Dave Lindahl has spoken twice at this event, since I became a member.The last time he spoke, he claimed that he doesn't travel the USA anymore to promote and sell his programs.He hired someone else to do the seminars, and sell his programs.He is from the Springfield, Mass area, so a ride to Cromwell, Ct is only a few hours.A few people boast about how successful they have been, using his various programs, that he sells.

My first flip was a rollercoaster ride!
