There are a zillion things that $5k-$7k can be used for, but without knowing what your units need it's just making noise. 

I look forward to the Hustle & Grind ahead and wish you all success in your 2019 Goals.

The problem is that I have a very long commute (often over an hour) and I don't find the sales grind a long-term, sustainable option. 

I am currently looking for my first investment property and am loving the hunt and grind on finding the right deal.

Its not a get rich quick scheme, its a slow grind to wealth. 

I have also sold over $2 mil of real estate on the realtor side of the house ~ It's been a grind, but I love it!

Location is not inherently bad if you get the right value on the property and have the right expectation for the property and its tenants.Being close to a highway is good for some tenants (transportation ease) and bad for others (noise, view).

Unit 3 upstairs keeps complaining about Unit 1, they pound on the ceiling/floor, they swear loudly, and all around make noise directed apparently up at unit 3.

How do you handle tenants doing drugsHow do you handle noise complaintsHow do you handle vehicle violationsHow do you keep a tenant long term?

After almost 3 years of driving through Mexico, Central & South America my wife and I are back to the grind.
