It's been 4 months and the tenant continues to complain about multiple issues that our previous tenants had no problem with.

Couldn't have done it without all the education from this community, and we are excited (and terrified!)

After the winter it will be time to assess whether to take another stab at selling the home, or continuing to rent for another year.  

It also comes from increases in education spending at the local level.

Until then they would continue to owe rent on the place and failure to pay will result in an eviction which will remain on their credit history for an extensive period of time.In the future it may be useful to include (if allowed in your state) an Early Termination Clause in your lease. 

Between the license fee, the board fee (if it is required) and the monthly fees that you are charged and of couese update courses every year and other continuing education classes that may have a fee. 

Get educated on how to value a deal.  

Eligibility requirements: 1) 90 Days wartime service. 2)  181 days of continuous peacetime service. 3) Discharged from service without dishonorable conditions. 4) Six years service as a reservist or National Guard member. 5) Spouse of a Veteran who was/is KIA/MIA/POW.Entitlement: 100% of the appraised value.

I checked it out purely out of curiosity: It ended up being a $20k "educational" network of "investors," where, if you bring in the next victim - ahem, "trainee" - who signs up, you get some money back (I think $5k for each) from the $20k you put up.Out of further curiosity, I asked what would happen if I brought another "trainee" in without first paying my $20k; would I get the $5k?

@Michael PlanteI personally believe that while being a landlord is not what you want to do, it is the best method to go about doing business, even if you continue buying properties cash.I would have told my father to be a landlord.
