At first I dealt with longer vacancies and higher turnover which can really eat away cash flow. 

You'll have to eat something there.Other stuff -- make two lists for your handyman.

Been working construction with a broken foot, but don't make enough to eat every day and pay the Bill's.

Ok, here is the proof, stop eating 50% of what you eat, and do that for 5 days, and day 6 turn off the rules and let me know what happens.

I have no trouble waiting and there are properties that I would rather own in the long haul but this wouldn't eat up too much to get started with which is why it peaked my interest.

I take no scripts, eat meat and eggs, low carbs, lift weights. 

However, companies lack the power to raise prices any further because far fewer people are flying, going out to eat, booking hotel rooms, or buying clothes for the office, among other things.

I'm hoping it will be a smooth transition and it won't eat up too much of my cash flow since that's already a little on the low side.  

What should I do with a house where they owe 13k which eats into all their appreciation?

You might have to cut your losses and eat it.
