What are some of the horror stories out there when it came to rehabbing a property?

Now if you are getting licensed to buy your own properties and not for a living then that is a different story all together.I do commercial but have 12 years in and others have way more time in than me but I have seen the markets cycle.

Definitely an inspiring story, can't wait for my first!  

This post might be a bit premature for a "success" story, but I'm very confident that this is a good deal.

Stories you read from other members can be priceless!

In the areas we invest in, I'd say we're just at the cusp of switching from landlord to tenant pays for the brokers fees - give it another 1-2 years and the areas will be solidly tenant pays.Moral of the story, understand the dynamics of your specific target neighborhood so you can evaluate appropriately.

I am looking for your opinions on the next step.Some background information:- Currently renting a 1/1 for $1300 (long story, don't ask lol)- Purchasing a 3/1 with a detached 1/1 with conventional financing (4.3% rate at 5% down )- Monthly Payment will be $1250.

Not even a call to get my side of the story.

Long story short I grew up on a farm, worked everyday all day there until i was about 20.

I’ve just been surprised I haven’t read more stories about landlords taking the law into their own hands like taking the front door off saying it’s being repaired or cutting the water line etc….
