If you don't have the relationships, hire someone who does.This is why Brian Burke can go “large corporate” while I have to stay “small private”; he has the ability to MANAGE PEOPLE that I do not.  

Folks just need to understand things never stay the same..

Answer sure.. have to check if there is a due on sale clause or if you have a PG to the orignal seller.. that mortgage stays in your name unless there is a formal assumption  Maybe the example is more challenging for a house as the property.Ex. with vacant land - seller finances to me $20k with 5% down and $1k/moCan I after 1-2 months, then resell the land to a cash buyer for $25k, pay off the original $20k and pocket the $5k?

If she wants paid for canceled appointments, then I would suggest you look for a new cleaner.My policy is to keep all funds if the guests cancels within two weeks of their stay, unless I'm able to rent to someone else for the same period/rate.

Thanks Again and Stay Safe!

Generally if people are in town they stay with me till they have to go.Everyone wins.The downside is if you get a bad apple in the house it can and will spoil the entire bunch.

Time overcomes low cash flow to some degree... rents go up while your mortgage stays the same and your tenant pays down your mortgage.  

I saw dealmachine looks cool but the reviews from others here on BP have not been positive so I have stayed away for time being.

This has been true about every technological change in the industry - those who fail or refuse to adapt lose while those who embrace new tech win.
