No, it's not a good idea, neither is leaving your job unless there is some other very good reason.

One of the smartest things I did in my C+ property was leave the electric stove receptacle in place & have the HVAC guys run a gas supply to the stove.

If that amount of time is less than 2-3 months, you're probably best to stay ultra-liquid, meaning a savings account or money market account.If that amount of time is likely 4-12 months, you're probably best to use a short-term CD (though I'd still leave it in a savings account).If that amount of time is likely 12+ months, that's when you can start considering alternative investments.

I also got a couple of HUD deals as well with my existing realtor so I didn't leave her out in the cold either.But to me, this is beyond coincidence that using realtors at the same agencies as the listing agent is extremely beneficial.

That is what I was afraid of, but didn't want to leave any stone unturned so to speak.I have family I could borrow money from, but I would've prefered to go about it alone if it was possible.

Leaving small town IL for Los Angeles has been a big change.

First, you have no way of knowing this, second, even if you did, you have zero evidence of such, finally, if you decide to include that in your complaint without anything to support it, you could be sued for trying to smear her reputation.As others have stated, leave it alone and go look for a new house.

I am concerned his constant complaining and confrontations toward my other tenants, who pay early every month and only call me for repairs, will cause them to leave.

Linkedin is also a good source.If you have the "leave no stone unturned" attitude you will always be able to find good supply.Its harder to get buyers IMO.Thanks and have a great day.

There are many situations where you need a reserve fund:- Cannot find a good tenant, need to leave unit empty for a couple months.- Need to process an eviction, handle court costs and vacancy and repairs.- Big repair item comes up (furnace, roof, etc.)
