.- Deep freeze sitting outside in the back yard.

I am looking into investing in states with better landlord protections & lower property taxes because these are my two biggest concerns right now with keeping this property.I am curious how these additional details sit with you both, thanks for taking the time to respond to my inquiry!

But I do recall winter and winter weather was often a good time to hunt deals. 

Let's say you drive for Uber, dog sit, hustle with other jobs and are able save and pay off the credit card in a year.

I would say your best bet is just sitting down and seeing if they know their stuff.

@Scott Lyons I don't recall to be honest with you.

That said I'm sitting on close to 800K cash as it is.

It kills me to pay out $2350 a month in credit cards with interest when i'm sitting on a possible equity of $200k+.

I know this situation sucks, but the same thing could have very well happened if you were sitting in front of your computer all day and got distracted by something else, went to lunch, etc.The idea of "work on your business not in it" makes sense, but there are plenty of times where you need to be working in it still so I wouldn't be too hard on yourself.
