This would give me some freedom in future deals in addition to cash reserves.

The only reason I tend to lean towards tiny houses or like wise is to cover the basis of possible movement of the course in the future.

I currently have a full time job as a Sales manager for residential Solar and I want to build a RE portfolio on the side and build a second source of income and, possibly in the future take RE full time.     

Good luck with all your future REI ventures!

At the same time you can inform the tenant that their lease is in full effect and if they refuse to pay you will begin a formal eviction, which will tarnish their ability to rent in the future.

His perspective is a great reminder that life can be short, and we don't know what the future looks like. 

I’m concerned about potential future losses (both income and property damage) and want neighbor tenant evicted.

As I've mentioned in a prior post, I've become unemployed in my industry of 17 years (banking - mostly in marketing analytics, market strategy and operations strategy - analyzing where to place new and close offices, etc based on market potential), and am considering a career change to maximize my future.

I know it’s far fetched to assume that anything would happen in the near future.

Any steps anyone would reccomend taking now or in the near future?
