We have an eye on the Minneapolis, MN area because we grew up there and are familiar with it. 

I need to read this with my own eyes!

I'll keep an eye out for you!

If people refuse to put in the time, research, and effort, it will catch up to them.

807 Moss St is a duplex that caught my eyes on zillow.

Hello Everyone,My name is Chris and I have been bit by the REI bug.I am located outside of Boston, MA and am looking to build a solid foundation for becoming a real estate investor.Interested in long term rentals (unless the time calls to sell) outside of Boston, preferably.Have done a bit of research on condos, single families and multi families.Goal is to buy cheaper properties that need a little bit of work and then put them up for rent to collect the little bit of cash flow.More recently I have had my eye on New Bedford, MA, although I am not sure the future looks too bright for that town, as it has remained unchanged for many years.I think I just like the number of cheaper multi family homes that are available right now.Looking forward to hearing from you all.Chris

About 5 months ago, she filled out the rent relief application and then failed, or refused to follow through so our great government could pay 80% of her rent.This tenant has been paying about 1/2 of her rent every month and she promises to catch up, but I am guessing that in a few weeks she will be 3 months behind on her rent.So, to answer your question, I have no problem with evicting her and I will wait until the end of September to see how well she catches up, or whether she gets further behind.This COVID rent moratorium has caused myself several other problems with tenants and now I have about 4 or 5 tenants who starting paying their rent late every month like they are entitled to pay late and they refuse to pay a late charge.

I'm trying to do my due diligence and be prepared before incorporating to be able to purchase the liens and deeds and booking something with a lawyer in my area.

You have to really keep an eye on the property.
