Did not do the ceiling secondary to health issues with dizziness and to this day the formerly white ceiling looks like cheap chocolate milk. 

How do you deal with tenants milking the system by not paying rent due to covid and I cant even evict them?

We bought a $1/4M house (sounds better than $250K) for a friggin gallon of milk ($10 Yes 10 dollars).So I am here telling you and everyone else... it is possible.

There's a very good chance they'll milk the property for all its worth, then disappear when the money dries up or they encounter hardship in their personal life. 

Otherwise, they will use $60-75 per month as the monthly payment.As you can see, it will not significantly affect your qualification.Additionally, you have a great deal with your employer so I would milk that for all it's worth.Now you just have to decide between putting a larger down payment or saving more money and doing the minimal down payment.Hope this helps! 

I tell everyone I know: if you call someone up for a job that costs less than a couple hundred bucks in materials and isn't some crazy oddball thing - patching damaged drywall from a leak is not an oddball thing; fixing a partially collapsed porch might be - and the guy can't give you a ballpark figure over the phone and says they have to come "see the job", they're going to try to milk you for every dime on the planet - because truly busy contractors that do lots of work know roundabout how long various jobs take, how much they charge for their labor, and about what the materials cost.

I'll check out the Mr Mustache episode and blog.

Take a look at how much water it takes to both grow almonds and also to produce almond milk.  

Have you heard of Mr Money Mustache??

I do not intend to milk it for more profit, because it would be smarter to reinvest what I get out of the building back into it.3.
