@Stuart Udis, I think there is starting to be a bit of a shift here.  

The property was occupied (still is) with 1 tenant that I am now having the exhausting pleasure of evicting. 2yrs later, said tenant continues to try every angle to delay the court granted Marshall’s execution.The “2nd” floor was poorly renovated (bad contractors), new tenant moved in and a year later, another eviction process has started as they lost their job and refuse to move or pay.Stuck with a very large mortgage bill (that I am paying), utilities and making small repairs to keep the property up also noting the casual 311 complaints from both tenants. 

., a large upgraded kitchen, two living rooms, ample parking, and a private backyard, the home is set for completion in May 2025, with leases starting in August 2025.

How was that process starting for zero?

What are you thinking to get started in investing?

I'm brand new, just getting started, so trying to get everything in order.

At least you have a starting point.
