Foreclosures are negligible relative to benign (or stressed periods).

It was stressful!!

I felt angry at her breaking the deal, but kept my cool and reasoned with her to try and make it a “win-win” for both of us to no avail, she was driving this train as far as it would take her.Finally, I took possession of the house, after much legal expense and energy and stress on top of my stressful corporate job, and now faced the prospect of evicting her as a squatter who had tenant rights.

Overall it was a stressful 3 days as I did not know whether I would be able to collect rent or if payment would be sent back to tenant...Also, they have a feature to categorize transactions posted en your account.

She thanked me for being generous and apologized as she's just under a lot of stress.It looks like the stress you are experiencing with your tenant is the result of a difficult situation for both of you.

It's been quite the learning adventure for me, stressful but fun, and it ain't over yet, still in remodel phase of the entire property. 

The process was stressful but rewarding and now I am more confident in building my portfolio.

Past that, these are numbers that should have been stress tested during due diligence. 

They are between a 5.25% and 7% with a downpayment between 50% and 60%.I am starting to feel that the only way to justify an out of country investment, including the stress of rehab and building a team, is to pay cash and then refinance after 12 months; buy from motivated sellers and skip the retail prices route.The idea is to build my own marketing and approach motivated sellers and buy at discounted prices.

And I have never (in the long run) regretted hanging onto a property, even if (in the short run) I've stressed out about spending much more than I'd hoped to renovate it and considered committing arson on occasion (kidding) (kind of) (but really... just kidding).
